# Deleting your account

> Permanently delete your Reactive Resume account, including every resume, cover letter, job application, API key and public link. Export a copy first.

Deleting your account removes it and everything in it for good. There is no grace period and no way to restore it, so download a copy of your data first if you might want it later.

## Before you start

[Export your data](/guides/exporting-your-data) from **Settings → Account → Your data**. The zip holds your resumes, cover letters, job applications and Career data as JSON files.

## Delete your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Your data">
    Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**. On the **Account** page, scroll to **Your data**.
  </Step>

<Step title="Select Delete…">
  Next to **Delete account**, select **Delete…**. The **Delete your account?** dialog lists how many documents,
  applications and API keys will go.
</Step>

<Step title="Type delete to confirm">
  Type `delete` into the box. The **Delete** button stays unavailable until the word matches. To back out, select **Keep
  account**.
</Step>

  <Step title="Select Delete">
    Reactive Resume deletes your account, signs you out and takes you to the home page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets deleted

- Every resume and cover letter, including those in the trash, and their version history.
- Every job application, including its workspace answers, saved results, offers and voice transcripts.
- Career facts, stories, preferences, conversations, schedules, notifications and discovered roles.
- Every public resume link. Anyone who opens one sees a page that no longer exists.
- Your uploaded files, such as photos.
- Your assistant conversations, API keys, saved AI providers, passkeys and linked social accounts.

<Warning>
  This can't be undone from the app. To use Reactive Resume again, [create a new account](/guides/creating-an-account)
  and [import](/guides/importing-resumes) resumes you saved as JSON or PDF.
</Warning>
