How to delete your Arlo account

Canceling your Arlo subscription means you'll no longer have to make monthly payments, but it won't delete all your account information. To do that, you'll need to delete your account. Keep in mind that deleting your account will permanently erase your account data (such as settings and recordings), and you won't have the option to restart your account.

Still sure you want to delete your Arlo account? Follow these steps.

Step 1: Go to the official Arlo website.

Step 2: Go to Settings, then enter the Privacy Center.

Step 3: Navigate to your Account tab. Depending on your account, this might be in the Data Privacy submenu.

Step 4: Select Delete Arlo Account, then confirm your selection by selecting Permanently Delete Arlo Account.

Step 5: Wrap up the process by following any pop-up instructions.

Step 6: With that done, you'll get one last email from Arlo confirming the deletion.
