How to delete your Roblox account
Roblox is a user-generated gaming platform with around 70 million daily active users, skewed heavily toward kids and teens. Roblox stores your username, avatar, every Robux transaction, friends, every chat message (in the moderation log), every game you created with Roblox Studio, group memberships, premium membership status, and (for users under 13) parental-control relationships. Roblox is required by COPPA/GDPR-K to honor parental deletion requests.
Delete your Roblox account, step by step
- 1Sign in at roblox.com using the account to be deleted (or use a parent account for a child)
- 2Go to en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
- 3Choose 'Account' as the category and 'Delete my account' as the subcategory
- 4In the message, request permanent account deletion and include the username and registered email
- 5For accounts of children under 13, parents should explicitly state 'parental request under COPPA/GDPR-K'
- 6Roblox replies via email to confirm; deletion completes within 30 days

Before you delete
Roblox does NOT expose a self-service delete button — every closure goes through a support ticket. Robux balances are forfeited with no refund. Group ownership must be transferred or the group is deleted with the account. Game place files in Roblox Studio you authored are removed with the account; download .rbxl files locally first. Premium subscription billed through Apple/Google must be cancelled in that store.
Download your data from Roblox first
Most platforms only honor a data-export request while the account is still active. Do this before you delete.
- 1Roblox does not offer a self-service data export. Submit a 'data access request' via the same support form, citing GDPR Article 15 (EU/UK) or CCPA right to know (California) or COPPA (parent of a child under 13). Roblox responds within 30 days with a downloadable copy.
If deletion fails — or you live in the EU, UK, or California
You have a legal right to request erasure of your personal data under GDPR (EU/UK) and CCPA (California). Use these official channels if the self-service flow doesn't work.
Roblox deletion FAQs
How do I delete my child's Roblox account as a parent?+
Submit a support ticket at en.help.roblox.com explicitly stating you are the parent or legal guardian making a parental deletion request under COPPA (US) or GDPR-K (EU/UK). Roblox will ask for proof of identity and proof of parental authority before processing — be ready to provide ID.
Why is there no 'delete account' button in Roblox settings?+
Roblox routes every closure through support to comply with child-safety regulations — many users are minors and a self-service button could be misused. The trade-off is slower deletion (typically 30 days) but with documented verification.
Will I get refunded for my Robux balance?+
No. Robux that haven't been earned through DevEx (Developer Exchange) and converted to real currency are forfeited at deletion with no refund. Spend down the balance or convert via DevEx (if eligible) BEFORE requesting deletion.
What happens to games I built in Roblox Studio?+
Games you authored and published are removed with the account. Players who favorited them lose access. Download .rbxl backup files from Roblox Studio for any games you want to preserve or republish under a different account.
Can someone else take over my Roblox username?+
Roblox retires deleted usernames and does not release them for re-registration, which protects against impersonation. You won't be able to register the same name again.
What about Roblox Premium and BC/TBC/OBC memberships?+
Premium subscriptions billed directly through Roblox can be cancelled in Settings > Billing. App Store and Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled through those stores before deletion or you'll keep getting charged.
