How can I delete my account?

To permanently delete your orkut account, please follow these steps:
  1. Click the settings button under your profile photo (or click the blue settings link at the top of any page).
  2. On the general tab, click the delete my orkut account link.
You'll be taken to a page that gives further instructions and a link to delete my account. Clicking this link will re-direct you to the "Delete orkut" page of your Google Account. To permanently delete your orkut profile, follow the instructions. You will no longer be able to log into orkut.com, but your Google Account will remain active. Please do not try to log in to your orkut profile again for at least 24 hours.

To permanently delete your Google Account, including all services associated with it, click Delete all account info and follow the instructions. If you select this option, you will not be able to restore this account or the services associated with it such as orkut, Joga.com, or Gmail.

Please note that it may take up to 48 hours for your profile to be completely deleted from orkut.com. Once you've clicked on Delete orkut, we will not be able to restore your profile or any of the information on that profile.

*Keep in mind that any communities you own won't be deleted when you delete your profile. If you'd like to delete your communities, please do so before deleting your profile. If you don't delete them, another user may become the moderator of any ownerless communities.

Before you delete your profile, you may also pass ownership of your community to another community member.
