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.

That’s it – now you know how to add or remove profiles with ease. With so much content to choose from, you might just decide that your dog deserves his own profile after all.

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 Add Profile button located on the right side of the resulting page.

Step 3: Choose an icon, enter a profile name, and click the blue Save button at the bottom.

That’s it! You can now easily add or remove profiles at your leisure.

The best free movies on YouTube right now (June 2024)
A woman on a microphone sings to a woman sitting down.

Streaming services provide thousands of movies for consumers to watch every month. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Max are some of the top streaming services on the market. However, these services have monthly fees. If you subscribe to all four services, then it will cost you a pretty penny. If you're looking for alternative streaming options, try YouTube, which offers free movies with ads.

YouTube does not have the expansive libraries that Netflix or Max boast. However, YouTube offers many films in multiple genres, including drama, comedy, action, adventure, thriller, and horror. To help guide your choice, we curated a list of the best free movies to watch on YouTube this month.
Looking for more stuff you can watch for free? Check out our guides to the best free shows on YouTube and the best sites for watching free movies online.

Everything leaving Hulu in June 2024
Robert Pattinson in The Batman.

By now, Hulu subscribers are used to the idea of movies coming and going at seemingly random intervals. We've lost track of how many times the Die Hard films have departed and returned (they'll all be gone from Hulu again at the end of June). It's more intriguing to see movies that you wouldn't expect on Hulu, like The Batman and Joker, both of which are making brief appearances this month.

While Max has seemingly abandoned the idea of letting subscribers know which films are departing at the end of any given month, Hulu is very upfront about it. That gives you, and all of the other the Hulu subscribers, ample opportunities to catch your favorite movies before they leave. The only thing that you have to do is make time to watch them. If you go through our list of everything leaving Hulu in June 2024, then getting a viewing plan together should be the easy part. Our favorite picks for the month are in bold.

What’s new on Paramount+ in June 2024
Jeremy Renner in Mayor of Kingston season 3.

Jeremy Renner survived a near-fatal accident last year, and now he's back on Paramount+ in June for the third season of Mayor of Kingstown. That's a major accomplishment in of itself, and we're understandably curious to see if Renner had to cut back on some of the more physical aspects of the show. But it's still exciting to have him back, and that's just one of the many shows and movies wee have to look foraward to this month on Paramount+. On June 6, Criminal Minds: Evolution is starting its second season on the streamer.

Cyndi Lauper may no longer be the music superstar that she was in the '80s, but she is getting her due this month with a documentary called Let the Canary Sing. The other music-related documentary in June is How Music Got Free, which offers a look back at how file sharing almost destroyed the industry during the days of Napster.
