How to delete a Disney+ profile

Disney+ enrolled more than 10 million subscribers in the first 24 hours of launch. Although the release wasn’t exactly seamless, users still have a lot to look forward to, with content from Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and National Geographic, not to mention Disney’s extensive vault of classic films and Disney Channel original movies and shows. Oh, and don’t forget high-profile shows like The Simpsons.

With such an enormous content library, Disney+ has something for everyone. And to make sure everyone in your home can take advantage of it, Disney+ allows you to set up to 10 distinct profiles so everybody using an account can access personal watchlists, save shows to watch later, and receive better recommendations via Disney’s algorithm. After all, your 3-year-old might not quite grasp the nuances of The Simpsons episodes the system recommends based on your watch history.

That being said, 10 profiles might seem like a lot. If you got excited in the first week and created a profile for every member of your family — dog included — you may want to dial it back and make room for others to access your account. Fortunately, Disney+ makes it incredibly easy to remove a profile, though the method for doing so will differ depending on how you created the profile.

How to delete a profile on Disney+

Step 1: From your primary profile’s homepage, tap or click your Character in the upper-right corner.

Step 2: Select Edit Profiles on the resulting drop-down menu.

Step 3: Click on the profile you want to delete, scroll down and select the blue Delete Profile button, then confirm your decision.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (February 2025)
Will Forte and Amy Schumer in Kinda Pregnant.

For better or worse, Netflix knows what kind of movies subscribers want to see. That's why the new Amy Schumer comedy, Kinda Pregnant, is on top of the most popular movies on Netflix, with a largely unknown 2017 action flick, Renegades, close behind at No. 3.
Neither of these films can reasonably be called perfect or even great, but they are popcorn entertainment that you can watch from the comfort of your own home using a Netflix subscription. That in and of itself is often enticing enough for movie lovers who would rather stay on their couches for the weekend.
You can find these films and more among the best movies on Netflix below. Remember to check this list every Friday morning, when we update the lineup to give you the most enticing movie options available.

The vast majority of Netflix subscribers can probably only name a handful of original shows that have been created for the streamer. Despite Netflix's massive budget for originals every year, it's the established shows like Suits and NCIS that pull in casual fans who just want to revisit their favorite series. As a result, the vast majority of Netflix originals have short runs and the cycle continues over and over again.

Our roundup of the best hidden gems on Netflix is meant to put a spotlight on these shows that might otherwise be lost among the glut of content on the streamer. This month, we're putting the spotlight on two Netflix shows that ended prematurely, Archive 81 and The End of the F***ing World, as well as a tennis documentary called Break Point. If you're looking for more options, you can find the rest of our picks below.
