Delete your WeStory account

You can delete your WeStory account here without installing the app. Sign in using the method belonging to that account: your personal access key, or Continue with LazyingArt for an account using shared web sign-in. Never send a key or password by email or post it publicly.

  1. Open WeStory and sign in to the WeStory account you want to delete. A browser sign-in is separate from native app access; native apps currently use recovery keys.
  2. Open Privacy & account from your room lobby or a room. You do not need to belong to a room to delete your account.
  3. Choose Delete account, type DELETE, and confirm.

This permanently deletes your WeStory account across all rooms, revokes your access, and removes your name, group messages, private notes and associated private ideas. Rooms you own are archived: AI writing, invitations and public reading links are disabled, and remaining members become readers. Managed backups and AI work records are also scrubbed. Published collaborative fiction remains without your attribution; report personal information in a passage for removal. Internal IDs, hashed credential references, room/membership links, removed-message metadata, event and safety-review references, and deletion records remain for restore prevention, room integrity and safety follow-up. These currently have no automatic expiry. See the Privacy Policy for the retention criteria.

For shared web sign-in, WeStory removes the issuer/subject mapping and app sessions and queues revocation and erasure of delegated sign-in sessions. Local access stays revoked if remote cleanup must retry; required cleanup references and encrypted session records remain until cleanup succeeds, and a hashed erasure record prevents restored sessions from reviving access. This does not delete your central LazyingArt account or data held by other apps. Manage or request central-account deletion separately through LazyingArt.

If you lost your key or cannot sign in, contact lachlan.miao.chen@gmail.com with your display name and approximate joining date. We will verify account ownership. Do not include your key, password or sensitive story messages.
