How to Delete Terabox Account:
Complete Steps for Android and iOS

Deleting a TeraBox account can make sense if you have moved to another cloud service, no longer need the storage, or want to stop using the platform. However, removing an account also affects your stored files, subscriptions, and access across connected devices, so a few things need attention before you confirm the deletion.

Here, you’ll learn how to delete your TeraBox account on Android and iOS, what happens to your files after deletion, how to cancel Premium billing, and how to remove the app from your device. You’ll also find the key things to check beforehand so the process goes smoothly.

Before Deleting Terabox Account

A few important details are worth checking before deleting your TeraBox account. Once the process is completed, access to the account and its stored data may be lost, so taking a few simple steps first can prevent problems later.

  • Your files will be deleted: Photos, videos, and documents saved in the account may disappear after deletion. Download any important files to your phone or computer before confirming the request.
  • Cancel Premium first: If you have an active paid subscription, cancel it separately before deleting the account. This helps avoid confusion about future charges or subscription status.
  • All devices will be signed out: Any phone, tablet, or computer currently using the account will lose access once the deletion is completed. You will need another account if you want to continue using the service.
  • Deletion may not be reversible: After the account is permanently removed, recovering your files or account may not be possible. Make sure you have saved anything you want to keep beforehand.
  • Other accounts need separate deletion: If you use multiple TeraBox accounts, deleting one does not remove the others. Each account has to be handled separately.

Why You Can’t Delete Terabox
Account from
Web or Desktop

This may surprise many, but you can only delete your Terabox account using the mobile app. The web version at terabox.com and the desktop apps for Windows and Mac don’t have a delete option in their settings. If you want to delete your account from a computer, you’ll need to install the Android or iOS app first, even if you’ve never used it on a phone.

For general setup, storage tips, and account basics, our How to Use TeraBox explains the key steps and useful features for users who are still deciding whether to keep their account.

(Android and iOS)

The steps are identical on both platforms because deletion happens entirely inside the app:

  1. Open TeraBox and make sure you are signed into the account you want to delete. If you use more than one account, check the profile before continuing.
  2. Tap the profile or menu icon to open the side panel, then select Settings to access your account options.
  3. Scroll through the settings and look for Security Center. This section contains account and security-related controls.
  4. Find the Delete Account option and tap it to begin the removal process.
  5. Read the warning shown on the screen carefully. It explains what may happen to your files and account after deletion.
  6. Enter your password or complete the requested verification to confirm that you own the account.
  7. If TeraBox asks for a reason for deleting the account, choose the option that matches your situation. Some versions may allow you to skip it.
  8. Complete the final confirmation and wait for the message confirming that your deletion request has been processed.

Canceling a Premium Subscription First

Deleting your TeraBox account may not cancel a paid subscription if you purchased it through Google Play or the App Store. In that case, cancel the subscription from the same platform you used for the purchase:

  • On Android, open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Payments & subscriptions, find TeraBox, and choose Cancel subscription.
  • On iOS, open Settings, tap your Apple ID, select Subscriptions, find TeraBox, and tap Cancel Subscription.

Deleting the Terabox App Itself

Deleting your account and uninstalling the app are not the same thing. Removing TeraBox from your phone only deletes the app from the device; your account and stored files can remain on the service until you complete the account deletion process.

  • On Android, open Settings, go to Apps, select TeraBox, and tap Uninstall.
  • On iOS, press and hold the TeraBox icon on the Home Screen, choose Remove App, and confirm the removal.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Can’t find the delete account option

This usually happens because someone is looking in the wrong place. The web version at terabox.com and desktop apps don’t have this feature. Switching to the Android or iOS app fixes the issue right away. If you still can’t see the option in the mobile app, updating to the latest version from the Play Store or App Store usually helps.

Account still looks active after going through the steps

A weak or dropped connection is the most common reason for this. The request may not fully reach Terabox’s servers. Reconnect to a stable network and repeat the deletion steps from the start. If it still shows as active after a few hours, waiting a bit longer before trying again often works.

Can’t confirm deletion because the password won’t work

If the account was created with an email and password, use the Forgot Password option to reset it. This usually takes just a couple of minutes. Accounts set up through Google or Facebook don’t need a separate Terabox password, so signing in with that social account handles the identity check.

Still getting charged after the account is gone

This happens when a Premium subscription was bought through Google Play or the App Store but wasn’t canceled separately before deleting the account. Canceling directly through the platform used for the purchase stops future charges. If a charge went through before the cancellation, contacting Google Play or Apple support directly is the quickest way to get a refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deletion is only available through the Android or iOS app. The web version and desktop apps for Windows and Mac don’t include this option.

Only if it was purchased directly through Terabox. Subscriptions bought through Google Play or the App Store need to be canceled separately through that platform.

No, once the deletion is confirmed, the account and everything stored in it are gone permanently, with no recovery option.

Those stay exactly where they are. Only files stored in Terabox’s cloud are affected by account deletion, not copies already saved locally.

No, each account has to be deleted separately by logging into it individually and repeating the same steps.

No, deletion takes effect as soon as the final confirmation is submitted. There’s no grace period to change course afterward.

Final Thoughts

Deleting a Terabox account is easy once you find the Security Center menu. However, take the permanence seriously. If you’re looking to delete your Terabox account, remember to back up first. There’s no way to recover anything afterward. Save anything important, cancel any active subscriptions on the right platform, and then confirm the deletion. There’s no undo option, so a few minutes of prep now can save you from regret later.
