About This Feature
Overview
Delete Account in WPS on Windows is an account management feature that lets you permanently close the current WPS account.
Core tasks include:
- Prepare before account deletion: back up cloud documents, unlink third-party accounts, cancel auto-renewal, and confirm that no important unsaved data remains.
- Permanently delete the account: open the deletion entry from Personal Center, review the confirmation items, and submit the closure request after the account check is complete.
This feature is useful when you no longer plan to use WPS services, want to switch to another account, or need to clear data tied to an old account. After the account is deleted, cloud documents, membership benefits, and personal data under that account can no longer be used, so it is recommended to organize and back up data first.
