How to Cancel a MyFans Subscription or Delete Your Account

On MyFans, cancelling a subscription and deleting your account are two completely separate actions, and doing one doesn't do the other. Mixing them up is how people end up charged again after they thought they'd cancelled. The rules on this page come from MyFans' own help pages, checked on 10 October 2026.
Cancelling a subscription vs. deleting your account
- Cancelling a subscription stops future charges for one specific creator's plan. Your account stays active, and you can resubscribe later.
- Deleting your account removes your MyFans account entirely. MyFans' help pages don't list what goes with it, apart from your card information. Since you can no longer log in, assume your purchase history and anything you bought go too.
- Most people only need the first one. If you just want the charges to stop, don't delete your account: keeping it means you can come back later without starting over.
- Important: you have to cancel every active subscription before you can delete your account.
How to cancel a subscription
These are the steps MyFans' help page gives:
- Open your account information.
- Under the purchases and saved tab, open the library.
- Open your current plans.
- Tap the "…" at the top right of the plan you want to stop.
- Choose to cancel this plan.
- Select a reason.
- Tick the confirmation items and confirm.
Each plan is cancelled on its own. If you're subscribed to three creators, that's three cancellations.
When to cancel
| If you cancel | What happens |
|---|---|
| The day before renewal | You've used the whole month. No further charge. |
| Earlier in the month | The plan's posts close that same day. No refund for the days left. |
| On the renewal day itself | The charge may already have gone through. MyFans doesn't refund problems caused by cancelling on the day. |
A plan renews on the same day of the following month. If you joined on the 29th, 30th, or 31st, the renewal moves earlier in shorter months — to the 30th, or to the 28th or 29th in February — so count from the earlier date.
A few things that trip people up:
- Unfollowing a creator is not cancelling. These are separate actions — unfollowing leaves the subscription (and the charge) running.
- Deleting the app doesn't cancel anything. The subscription lives on your MyFans account, not on your device.
- Premium membership is cancelled separately. If you have a MyFans premium membership alongside creator plans, it appears in a different part of your plan list and has to be cancelled on its own. Cancelling one does not cancel the other.
- Cancel before the renewal date, not on it. Give yourself at least a day of margin.
Refunds: what to expect
- MyFans does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel mid-cycle, you don't get money back for the unused portion.
- Access ends the day you cancel. MyFans' help page says posts tied to a plan stop being viewable on the day you cancel, not at the end of the month you paid for. The exception is a bundle — 3, 6 or 12 months bought at once — which stays viewable until its term ends, if you signed up for it after 14 November 2025. A bundle cancellation can also be withdrawn at any point before the term ends; a monthly plan's can't. So finish watching what you want before cancelling, and cancel on the day before renewal rather than earlier.
- A plan that isn't what was described doesn't get a refund from MyFans either. MyFans leaves a plan's content to the creator and says it won't refund a mismatch, or a creator's own campaign or bonus that never arrived. It tells you to ask the creator directly.
- Individually purchased (PPV) content is different. Content you bought outright isn't tied to a plan, so cancelling a subscription doesn't close it. MyFans says a purchased post stops being viewable if MyFans removes it for a rule violation or the creator closes their account; if the creator simply deletes the post, buyers can still open it from their purchased posts. What happens to it when you delete your own account isn't spelled out — assume it's gone. If you're not sure how PPV differs from a subscription, the content types guide covers it.
Deleting your account
Deleting the account is a separate action from cancelling plans, and MyFans won't let you do it while anything is still active.
- Cancel every creator plan you're on. MyFans lists being subscribed to a plan as a reason deletion is refused.
- Cancel MyFans Premium if you have it. That blocks deletion too, and it's cancelled from a different place in your plan list.
- Log in, then open the account deletion page and fill in the reason and the other required fields.
- Wait for the on-screen completion message. MyFans doesn't send a confirmation email, so that message is your only proof it went through. Take a screenshot.
- Treat deletion as permanent. MyFans' help pages describe no way to restore an account, and don't say what happens to your purchases — so assume your purchase history and purchased content are lost.
- MyFans states that the card information on the account is deleted when the account is.
- If emails from MyFans keep arriving afterwards, MyFans says the deletion may not have completed — or you may have a second account with notifications on.
Quick answers
- Does deleting my account cancel my subscriptions? — It's the other way round. You have to cancel them first, or the deletion is refused.
- What if I delete my account — do I keep what I bought? — Assume not. MyFans' help pages don't say, and you can't log in to an account that no longer exists.
- Will I get an email confirming it? — No. Only the message on screen.
- Is my card removed? — MyFans says card information is deleted with the account.
If cancellation isn't working
Before anything else, check the two mistakes listed above: unfollowing instead of cancelling, and a premium membership sitting in a separate section of the plan list. If you've verified all of that and it still won't go through, contact MyFans support directly rather than letting another billing cycle run.
