Walmart allows you to delete your Walmart account both in the app and over the phone—neither of which take a long time to do. We’ll walk you through both options (along with how to cancel a Walmart+ membership, if you so desire), so you can pull the plug on your Walmart account as soon as possible. Because you'll need the Android or iPhone app to delete your account, you won't be able to use a computer.
Quick Steps
- Open the Walmart mobile app.
- Tap on the Account icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Scroll down and hit Delete Account.
- Follow the app’s directions to complete the deletion process.
Steps
In the App
-
Open up the Walmart app on your phone. Make sure that you’re signed in to the account you’d like to close down.
-
Hit the Account option. You can find it in the bottom-right corner of the main screen within the app.Advertisement
-
Scroll to the end of the page and hit Delete Account. It should be the very last option at the bottom of the screen.
-
Complete the app’s instructions to finalize the deletion. The app will ask you sign in again, and may provide a few more on-screen instructions. Follow these, and your Walmart account should be deleted.
Canceling a Walmart Plus Account
-
Computer Hover over the “Account” button in the top-right corner of the screen and click on “Walmart+” from the drop-down menu. Choose “Manage Membership,” followed by “Cancel Membership.” Walmart will give you a “Remind Me Later” option, in which their system shoots you a cancellation reminder 3 days before your Walmart+ membership would be canceled.[1]
-
App Tap the “Account” button in the bottom-right corner of the app. Then, scroll down to the “Subscriptions & plans” section of the page. Tap the “Walmart+” option, and then tap the gear icon in the top-right corner of the next screen.
