Start Free Scan âGo to the Box website and sign in.
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Click on the "Account" tab.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Delete account" button.
Enter your password to confirm.
You can delete your Box account yourself â this is a self-service process (rated easy â most people can do it in a few minutes). After deletion: loss of all files and data; cancellation of subscription.
Follow the steps outlined in the "Steps" section above.
You will lose all of your files and data, and your subscription will be cancelled.
Box states a data retention period of 30 days after account deletion. Back-ups and statutory records can fall outside that figure, so request written confirmation from support if you need certainty.
The stated recovery window is 90 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: loss of all files and data; cancellation of subscription. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin â it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Have the following ready: email address; password. Having it to hand avoids getting part-way through the flow and having to start again.
Box is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA â that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive. If you are switching because of how Box handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
