How do I delete an email account?


If you no longer need an email address, you can delete it through cPanel. This will remove all associated emails, folders, and access for that account.

Warning:

Deleting an email account is permanent. All emails in the account will be lost unless you back them up first.

Steps to delete an email account:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account
  2. Click on Email Accounts
  3. Find the account you want to remove
  4. Click the dropdown arrow next to Manage
  5. Select Delete and confirm

After Deletion

  • Any messages sent to the deleted address will bounce
  • If you need the address again, you’ll have to recreate it from scratch

If you’re not sure whether to delete an email or need to archive messages first, open a support ticket and we can help.
