Searching our knowledge base for the answer...

4 min read

Permanently deleting your Wix account erases all of your information from Wix's databases. After completing this process, you can no longer use any of your Wix services, your account and all its data will be removed permanently, and Wix will not be able to restore your account or retrieve your data in the future. If you contact Wix Support in the future, the system will not recognize your account and Support agents will not be able to locate the deleted account.

Note:

While permanently deleting your account removes you from the Wix database, search engines such as Google may still display your information temporarily until they update their own databases.

To keep your account secure, Wix waits 7 days before permanently deleting your account. During this 7 day period, your account is blocked and you are unable to access your account or data. At any point during this period, you may contact Wix Support in a reply to your deletion request and ask to stop the deletion process.

Closing your account does not delete your information from the Wix database.
