    The activity on your account is locked unless you log into the app with your username and password on your phone or computer.
    • If you still want to remove the transactions from your phone or the website, you need to close your account.
    • Cash App is a financial institution that must have a history of your transactions. There are legal reasons why your transaction history cannot be deleted. You also have lots of rights as a consumer to keep your transactions private. [1]

    On that service, your transactions can be public, so your friends can see your recent activity. However, Cash App is way more private, so your transactions are private.

    This app icon looks like a white "$" on a green background.

    You can't close your Cash App account if you have money in it, so Cash Out first. To do this, tap the Banking icon (it looks like a building with pillars outside it) in the bottom-left corner of your screen, then tap Cash Out . [2]

    It's in the top right corner of your screen.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f6\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f6\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-6.jpg\/v4-728px-Delete-Cash-App-History-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>"}
    You'll see this near the middle of the menu next to a "?" icon that's inside a circle. [3]
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/69\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/69\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-Delete-Cash-App-History-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>"}
    It's at the bottom of the menu. [4]
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/80\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/80\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-8.jpg\/v4-728px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-8.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>"}
    You'll need to scroll down the menu to find this option near the bottom. [5]
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d8\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d8\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-9.jpg\/v4-728px-Delete-Cash-App-History-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>"}
    You want to choose this option so your information isn't reloaded when you re-open the account. This option makes sure that your personal information is deleted at the same time that your account is closed. [6]
    • When you tap this, you'll see a message about your privacy and what Cash App does to protect it.
  8. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/37\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/37\/Delete-Cash-App-History-Step-10.jpg\/v4-728px-Delete-Cash-App-History-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>"}
    This will let you continue to confirm your action and close your account.
    • You should get an email that confirms that you've deleted your personal information and deleted the account. After you get this email, you can delete Cash App from your phone. [7]
