This page describes how to delete a CWS account—either a developer or publisher account.
About account deletion
Items in the Chrome Web Store are associated with developer and publisher accounts. There are a few things you need to understand before you delete an account:
- Account deletion is permanent. There is no "undo" for this action.
- You can't delete an account that still has published items. If you have published items, make sure to unpublish them before you try and delete the account.
- Publisher accounts can only be deleted by an Admin of the publisher.
How to remove a store listing item
Visit the developer dashboard. Click the item you want to remove from the store, so that the edit page for that item appears. Then click the "more options" icon in the top right-hand corner and select Unpublish. Your listing will no longer be visible in the store.
How to delete a developer account
To delete a developer account, first make sure you've unpublished any published items. Then, go to the Developer Account section on the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard:
Click Delete developer account to permanently delete the developer account.
How to delete a publisher account
To delete a publisher account, select it using the "Publisher" pulldown at the top of the Developer Dashboard. Make sure that you have unpublished any items associated with the publisher.
Navigate to the Management section on the Publisher > Settings page:
Click Delete publisher account to permanently delete the publisher account.
