Questions & Answers

Question:
What is the difference between Deactivating and Deleting my Account?
Answer:

Deactivating your account will remove your profile from Nextdoor and unsubscribe you from emails, but your past posts will remain visible in the newsfeed. Should you choose to return to Nextdoor in the future, you’ll be able to sign back in to reactivate your account. Deletion on the other hand cannot be undone. Deletion will permanently delete your account and all its data from Nextdoor. You will not be able to retrieve any of the content you’ve contributed to Nextdoor.

Question:
I forgot my password. Can I still delete my account?
Answer:

No. You cannot delete your account if you forgot your password. You must be able to log in. Click here to navigate to the forgotten password link.
