Deleting your Microsoft Office 365 account requires contacting Microsoft Office 365 support directly â there is no self-service delete button. After deletion: loss of access to account and data; cancellation of paid subscriptions.
Account deletion typically takes 30 days.
Your data is retained for 60 days after account deletion.
Microsoft Office 365 states a data retention period of 60 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 30 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: loss of access to account and data; cancellation of paid subscriptions. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin â it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Have the following ready: account credentials. Having it to hand avoids getting part-way through the flow and having to start again.
Microsoft Office 365 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 Workspace, Zoho Workplace, Slack. If you are switching because of how Microsoft Office 365 handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
