It's a good idea to delete a Discord account if you aren't currently using the service and don't anticipate doing so anytime soon. We'll demonstrate how the service makes it simple to do this if this is what you want.
What to Know Before Deleting a Discord Account
For the sake of privacy and security, it is a good idea to delete your old online accounts. Before you delete your Discord account, be aware that all of your account information will be lost forever. In the future, you won't be able to recover this information.
Additionally, before you can delete your account, you must either delete or transfer ownership of any servers you own on the platform. If you don't do that, Discord will stop you from deleting your account.
