How to Disable a Binance Account Temporarily

If you don’t want permanent deletion but need a break from trading or suspect suspicious activity, disabling your account temporarily is safer:

2. Go to Security Settings > Devices and Activities.
   
3. Scroll to Account Activity and click Disable Account.
   
4. Confirm your choice.
   
5. Your account will be deactivated within 2 hours. You can reactivate it later by contacting Binance Support.
   

Note: Disabling your account preserves your funds and data, unlike permanent deletion.

Deleting Binance Account from Desktop

On the desktop website, Binance does not allow permanent deletion, but you can disable your account:

• Go to Dashboard > Security > Devices and Activities.
  
• Click Disable Account and confirm.
  
• This disables your account, but it can be reactivated after 2 hours if needed.
  

What Happens After Binance Account Deletion?

• You lose access to all funds, trading history, and personal data.
  
• Certain personal data may still be retained for legal compliance.
  
• If deleted accidentally, Binance may help reactivate the account, but only with valid proof of ownership (ID verification, selfies, and security answers).
  
• Any cryptocurrency left in the account may be unrecoverable due to blockchain protocols.
  

Tips Before Deleting Binance Account

1. Withdraw All Funds: Move all crypto to another wallet or exchange.
   
2. Check Pending Orders: Cancel all open trades.
   
3. Backup Data: Download transaction history if needed for tax purposes.
   
4. Secure Verification: Keep access to your registered email and phone number for verification during deletion.
   

Removing an account with Binance is an irreversible decision. To have momentary breaks, it is safer to disable the account. Always securely withdraw your assets and back-up all your personal data and proceed to do so before proceeding.
