Account Deletion Process

You can delete your account on the Basic Information page. Close the account before you delete it.

A retention period starts after your account is closed. During this period, your account data saved in Huawei Cloud will be cleared and cannot be recovered. However, you can still use your account to log in to Huawei Cloud and view the account and expenditure information. After the retention period expires, your account will be automatically deleted and can no longer be used.

If you are certain that the account is no longer needed, you can delete it 24 hours after you close it. After the account is deleted, it can no longer be used to access Huawei Cloud, and the account data will be cleared permanently. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
