Delete your account

You can erase your KandiCon account whenever you like. You can ask for it right here from this page — you do not need the app installed and you do not need to sign in.

Request it from this page

Email alexander@uniquephoto.com and ask us to delete your account. Tap the button below and the message is already written — just add your @handle and send it.

Email us to delete my account

Send it from the email address the account uses, if you can. That is the quickest way for us to be sure it is you.
Signed in with Apple and used hide-my-email? Send from any address you can be reached at and tell us your handle. We will write back to check it is really you before deleting anything.
A parent or guardian can ask for a child's account to be deleted the same way. Give us the handle — you do not need a reason.

We action deletion requests within 7 days, and usually the same day. You will get a reply confirming it is done.

Or do it yourself in the app — faster

If you have KandiCon installed and can sign in, you do not have to wait for us at all:

Open KandiCon and go to Settings.
Tap Delete account.
Confirm. It happens immediately — no email, no waiting.

What deleting actually does

Straight away, and permanently:

Your sign-in details are erased — the email address and the Sign in with Apple link are removed, so nothing can be used to get back in. Your account cannot be recovered afterwards.
Your profile is emptied — handle, display name, bio and avatar are all cleared, and your handle is freed up.
Your posts, comments, patterns, tutorials and messages are hidden — comments on patterns as well as comments on posts. Nobody can see any of them in the app any more.
Your photos and video are deleted from storage — your avatar, the photo or video on every post, its thumbnail, and the photos on your patterns. The files themselves go, along with every smaller copy of them, not just the links to them.
Your follows and likes are deleted — you stop following anyone, you disappear from other people's follower counts, and your likes come off their posts and patterns.
Notifications stop — every phone registered to the account is removed, so nothing is ever sent to it again.

One thing we keep, and we would rather tell you than not. The account's internal id number stays in our database. Other people's content points at it — a comment thread, a follower count, a post someone replied to — and removing the id would break their stuff, not just yours. The id on its own is a random-looking string. It is not your name, your handle or your email, and all of those really are gone.

Two smaller things, for completeness. Reports you filed and any moderation records stay, because they are how we keep the app safe and they cannot be undone by the account that caused them. If you bought beads, the order record stays, because it is the record of a real purchase and shipment.

One honest note about copies already downloaded: a photo that somebody's phone or a network cache had already fetched can survive there for a while, because that copy is not ours to reach. What we can delete, we delete — immediately, and for good.

Just want one thing gone?

You do not have to delete everything. In the app you can delete a single post, comment or pattern, edit your profile, or block someone, all without touching your account.
