SoundCloud music app is famous for being a platform where many amateur music artists share their music.
That being said, whenever you are in the mood to discover new music, SoundCloud is the go-to platform.
However, if you are done with the platform for some reason and want to delete all the playlists, the quickest way would be to delete your profile.
There are a few steps you need to follow to delete your account, and in this post, we will go through all of them.
On another note, before you go through with the deletion process, keep in mind that all the data associated with your account, like the music you have uploaded and the playlist you have created, will be permanently gone.
How to delete a SoundCloud account

- Access your account from a computer.
- Click on account ‘Settings’ in the top right corner.

- Choose one of the reasons from the pop-up window, check the box that says ‘Yes, I want to delete my account and all my tracks, comments, and stats,’ and then click ‘Delete my account’.
Also, if for some reason you decide to google your SoundCloud account after the deletion process and it still appears in the google search results, you can also fill in a public removal form.
If your account was hacked and got deleted, you could contact SoundCloud support to retrieve your data.
