Fill Out a Form
There are two ways to cancel your paid account with Spotify: by filling out a form or by logging in to your account. To fill out a form, use this link: https://www.spotify.com/us/signed-out/cancel/
You'll see a Cancel Subscription page. All you have to do is fill out the required fields.
Click Cancel Now
After submitting the form, Spotify will email you to confirm the cancellation. Follow the instructions in the email to successfully cancel your paid subscription. After cancellation, you'll switch back to "free" and still be able to listen to music, but with limited features.
Another way to cancel is by logging in to your account. Use the next steps below.
Log in to Spotify
Use this link: spotify.com/account
Click Your Profile Picture and Tap Account
The next page shows your Spotify plan. Scroll down and look for Manage Your Plan.
Tap Manage Your Plan
Click Change Plan
Tap Cancel Plan
Upon cancellation, you can still use Premium until your next billing date, and then the account switches to "free" automatically. You can still use your playlist on Spotify Free, but you can listen to them with ads.
If you have a Duo or Spotify family, follow the steps above and don't forget to let your partner or family members know you canceled the Spotify account.
Conclusion
Note that you still get to keep your account even after cancellation. However, Spotify also allows users to close their accounts and permanently delete their data. After closure, you will get an email with a reactivation link in case you change your mind about closing your account. You can no longer reactivate within seven days. After this time, you'll have to create another account with Spotify if you want to use this platform again in the future. If you have questions about your Spotify account, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Customer Support.
