We'd be sorry to see you go, but you can follow the following steps to deactivate your Zulip account.
1. Click the cog () in the upper right corner of the right sidebar.
2. Select **Settings** from the dropdown menu that appears.
3. Upon clicking **Settings**, your view will be replaced with the **Settings** page. Click the red **Deactivate your account** button on the bottom of the **Your account** section.
4. After clicking the **Deactivate Account** button, a modal window titled **Deactivate Your Account** will appear.
5. To confirm the deletion of your account, click the red **Deactivate now** button. Please note that any bots that you maintain will be disabled.
6. After clicking the **Deactivate now** button, you will be logged out and returned to the Zulip login page.
In addition, if you're the only administrator in the realm, you cannot deactivate your account; you need to make another user an administrator first before you can deactivate your account.
If you regret deactivating your account, you can ask a Zulip realm administrator to [reactivate](/help/deactivate-or-reactivate-a-user#reactivate-a-user) your account.
