Important Points to Remember When Deleting Your Goodreads Account
- Once you have deleted your account, all the personal information that is linked with your account will get deleted from Goodreads. This personal information covers both the list(s) of books on your shelves (including those you’ve read, rated, and reviewed).
- In case you’re a Goodreads author, deleting your personal Goodreads account will not remove your author profile or information about any books you’ve authored (including ratings and reviews that are left by other users).
- You can contact the Goodreads contact team if you have any queries with regard to your account.
