To get started, launch Discord on your computer. In the bottom left corner of the app, next to your username, click “User Settings” (a gear icon).
In the settings, in the left sidebar, select “My account”.
Scroll down the “My Account” page. There, click on “Delete account”.
If you own a server, Discord will ask you to delete it or transfer it to a user. Make one so you can continue.
You will now see a “Delete Account” prompt. Here, click on the “Password” field and type in your current Discord password. If you’ve enabled two-factor authentication, you’ll also need to enter your code.
Once done, click on the “Delete Account” button.
