If you’re a Craigslist user, it’s important to be aware of the deletion process. If you accidentally delete your account, you’ll need to go through the process of deleting all your posts and data first. Then, you’ll need to create a new one.
– Click on “delete my account” under the envelope icon in the top right corner of your screen and then click “continue.”
– Enter your login information from Craigslist (username, password). Select a reason for deleting your account such as you are no longer using it or if this email address has been compromised by someone else and then confirm that you want to delete the account. You will receive an email with instructions on how to reset all other accounts associated with this Craigslist username. This step can be skipped if you do not have any additional accounts that need to be reset afterwards. Note: If there are certain postings before date that you cannot bear to lose, Craigslist has a feature where you can go back and save them before deleting your account.
– After clicking on “continue,” Craigslist will ask if you would like us to delete all of the posts from this email address or just draft ones. Choose whichever option is appropriate for you and then click “confirm.” You may be prompted by Windows Security next; don’t worry about that, it’s safe to proceed with Craigslist’s deletion request as outlined in previous steps.
– Craigslist will show the confirmation screen which says: “Success! Your Account Has Been Deleted” – Congratulations!
How do I permanently delete my Craigslist post?
– Craigslist offers a “delete post” option which appears when you hover over the title of your Craigslist posting.
– You can also delete Craigslist posts in bulk by selecting multiple postings and choosing to delete them all at once.
