Delete your account

A clear, step-by-step guide to delete your account on Campus Ghost — with screenshots you can follow along.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Help Center

    Tap your Ghost avatar, then Settings → help Center→ Mail For Id Deletion

  2. 2

    Choose what to keep public

    You can delete the account and every post together, or delete the account and leave posts as [Deleted Ghost]. Community Verified posts are often kept so students can still benefit from them.

  3. 3

    Confirm with a login link

    For security, we email a confirmation link to your mail id. Deletion is irreversible after you confirm.

  4. 4

    What happens next

    Your identity record is purged within 24 hours. Content marked for deletion is removed within 7 days from all backups.

Tips from the Campus Ghost team

  • Keep your app updated — new privacy protections ship every few weeks.
  • Your Ghost Identity is protected end-to-end. Even Campus Ghost cannot link a post back to your real name.
  • If a screen looks different, tap Help inside the app for live, contextual guidance.
