eHarmony is an online dating service that helps connect singles. If you haven't had any luck on the site or are in a committed relationship, you may want to delete your account. To delete your account, you'll have to "close" your account first. From there, you can delete all of your information by contacting eHarmony directly via phone or email.

    There will be a blue hyperlink that reads "Close Account" on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. Scroll all the way down and click the link. [4]
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-6.jpg\/aid9071360-v4-728px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    After you hit the close your account button, a new window will pop up on your screen warning you that you'll lose your matches. Click the link that says "Yes, close my account" under the button that says "Nevermind keep my matches." [5]
    • Your profile will become unsearchable and you'll stop receiving matches once you close your account.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a1\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a1\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-7.jpg\/aid9071360-v4-728px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Your account must be closed first before you can request that eHarmony deletes all your information. Closing your account will make your profile unsearchable, but you'll be able to retrieve your profile information if you decide to use the site again in the future.

    If you decide that you want to use eHarmony again but have deleted your account, you'll have to reupload all your pictures, rewrite the content in your profile, and retake the questionnaire on the site. If you plan on using your profile in the future, you should just cancel your account rather than deleting it. [6]
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f7\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f7\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-9.jpg\/aid9071360-v4-728px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Your subject line should read "Delete My Account Information." Inside of the body of the text, explain that you want your information to be completely deleted from the website. Wait for a response from eHarmony. [7]
    • Your information should be removed from the site within ten days. [8]
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/43\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/43\/Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-10.jpg\/aid9071360-v4-728px-Delete-an-eHarmony-Account-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If you've been unable to contact eHarmony through email, you can give them a call. Call 1+ 855-290-5575 and tell the customer service representative that you want to delete your account. [9]
    • You can say something like, "I enjoyed eHarmony while it lasted, but I don't want my personal information on the site anymore. Can you please delete it and send me a confirmation email when it's deleted?"
