About This Feature
Overview
Delete Account in WPS on macOS is an account management feature for permanently deleting your current WPS account and removing the related data and benefits tied to that account.
Core tasks include:
- Prepare before account deletion: back up data, unlink third-party sign-in methods, and check auto-renewal status before deletion.
- Permanently delete the account: open the deletion entry from Personal Center and submit the request after confirmation.
This feature is useful if you no longer use WPS services, want to switch to another account, or need to clear personal account data. After deletion is completed, WPS Cloud Documents, membership benefits, and personal data are no longer available, so it is recommended to finish the required checks and backups first.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports opening Personal Center from the WPS home page on macOS to permanently delete the current account. Before deletion, users are asked to back up WPS Cloud Documents, unlink third-party accounts, cancel membership auto-renewal, and confirm that no important data remains. | Microsoft lets users close a personal Microsoft account after sign-in and identity verification, then choose a 30-day or 60-day reopen window before data is deleted. | Google lets users delete a Google Account after reviewing the impact, downloading account data if needed, and continuing from the Data & Privacy section. | Notion lets users delete an account from Settings, shows which workspaces will also be deleted, and requires the account email to be entered for confirmation. | Adobe lets users delete an Adobe account from Data and privacy settings. Users may need to leave associated organizations first, and personal information and cloud content are removed after deletion. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The deletion path can be opened directly from the profile menu inside the Mac client. Distinct: The preparation checklist is concentrated around cloud files, linked accounts, and auto-renewal before final deletion. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft adds a 30-day or 60-day reopen window, so the process is designed around delayed final deletion. | Compared with WPS: Google places more emphasis on reviewing account impact and downloading account data from a web-based account center first. | Compared with WPS: Notion highlights affected workspaces during deletion and requires manual email confirmation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe has extra prerequisites related to organization membership and subscription status. |
| Official Source | — | Close a Microsoft account | Delete your Google Account | Delete your account | Delete your Adobe account |
Overall Conclusion: WPS is suitable for users who already work in the Mac client and want to complete account deletion from a direct in-app account entry. Compared with the alternatives above, WPS places more focus on finishing cloud document, team, and renewal checks before the final deletion step.
