How to Delete Your Grok Account Without Getting Charged Again

You can delete a standalone Grok account at accounts.x.ai/account and restore it within 30 days by logging back in. Grok inside X and Grok Bot use different logins, so find your row in the table first. x

Delete a standalone Grok account

Follow these steps in order:

1. Cancel any subscription first (next section).
2. Download your data from Settings> Data Controls, if you want a copy.
3. Revoke public share links at grok.com/share-links, since shared conversations can be indexed by search engines. Removing a link blocks access, but copies already cached elsewhere may stay online.
4. Follow the steps at xAI Accounts (accounts.x.ai/account). The app and grok.com also offer Delete Account under Settings.

If you use the same account for the API, deleting it removes your API access too. Save any keys or work you need first. A consumer SuperGrok plan doesn’t include developer API tokens, so API credits and billing run separately through console.x.ai.

Can you restore a deleted Grok account?

Yes. Log in again within 30 days and confirm restoration.

Both clocks run for about 30 days: the restore window and the removal of your data. Legal, compliance, or safety holds can keep some records longer. Restoring the account is also different from recovering deleted Grok conversations, which follows its own rules.

Cancel billing before you delete

Cancel in the place that charges you, because the subscription belongs to the account that bought it. If you can’t tell which plan you pay for, Grok’s subscription tiers and prices show how SuperGrok and X Premium+ differ. The official Grok FAQ lists four routes:

• Grok.com: grok.com/?_s=billing, or Settings → Billing.
• Apple: cancel and request refunds through Apple.
• Google Play: cancel in Google Play. SpaceXSI handles refunds through its refund request form. x
• X Premium: X, not SpaceXSI, handles refunds where the law requires them. x

Newer subscribers may be on The X Subscription. SpaceXSI launched it on October 12 to bundle Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium. Cancel a web-billed plan under Billing & invoices on your grok.com dashboard. If you subscribed on X, cancel in X, and if you subscribed through Google Play, cancel there.

A separate Apple-billed Cursor subscription needs its own cancellation through Apple. If you combined accounts under The X Subscription, the combination is permanent, and cancelling doesn’t separate them or restore your old subscriptions.

Grok Bot adds another layer. A Cursor subscription, a linked SuperGrok plan and a linked X Premium+ plan are all separate, so cancel each one you no longer want.

What happens to your data

Deleted chats and files leave SpaceXSI’s systems within standard retention windows, unless law, compliance, or safety requires longer retention. The consumer FAQ puts that window at up to 30 days.

Training is a separate setting, and your conversations can feed the next model version. In standalone Grok, turning off “Improve the model” stops new conversations from being used for training, but feedback you submit may still be used. If you use Grok through X, manage those controls in X.

Here is which control does what:

For deletion requests the self-serve controls don’t cover, the FAQ points to the privacy portal at x.ai/privacy-portal.

Delete Grok inside X

Grok on X has no separate account to delete. Go to Settings, Privacy & Safety, Data sharing and personalization, then Grok (some versions label it Grok & Third-Party Collaborators), and choose Delete Conversation History. X says deleted conversations leave its systems within 30 days, barring security or legal holds.

This clears your Grok chats only. It doesn’t delete your X account or your posts, including any that tag @grok, so remove those yourself. It also doesn’t change your data-sharing settings, which you review in the same menu. The X Help Center covers all three controls.

Chats on grok.com and in the app need their own cleanup, and the steps to clear Grok chat history differ by surface.

Delete Grok Bot by deleting Cursor

Read this warning before you start. Grok Bot has no login of its own, so the only way to delete it is to delete your Cursor account. That also removes your Cursor chat history and settings, plus Grok Bot agents, chats, computers, and connected apps. Files on your own computer stay put.

On a phone, tap your avatar, open Settings, tap your account, then tap Delete Account and confirm. A browser page opens, asks you to sign in, and wants you to type Delete and confirm again.

On desktop, cancel any active subscription first, then open cursor.com/dashboard. Cursor’s account help page puts Delete Account under Advanced Account Settings, while the Grok Bot FAQ places it under Settings, then More. Check both.

Delete Account appears for personal accounts. On a Teams or Enterprise seat, ask a team admin or contact support.

Why you’ll see xAI, SpaceXAI and SpaceXSI

SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026; the unit became SpaceXAI in July, and it became SpaceX Super Intelligence in October. Grok kept its name, but official pages still mix all three company names, so match the labels you see on screen.

FAQs

Q. Can I delete Grok without deleting my X account?

Yes. Delete Conversation History in X’s Grok settings clears your chats and leaves your X account and posts alone. Deleting a standalone Grok account doesn’t touch X either, because X handles its own account and help.

Q. Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?

Don’t count on it. Apple and Google Play plans keep billing until you cancel them in the store, so cancel wherever you pay before you delete.

Q. What if the delete option is missing?

Confirm you’re in standalone Grok, not X. Then contact support@x.ai. The official Grok FAQ lists the current account and billing steps. x

Before you click Delete

Cancel where you pay, export what you need, and revoke your share links. Then delete, and remember you have 30 days to change your mind. Menus and brand names are still shifting, so trust the labels on your screen.
