Are you looking to delete your Target account permanently? Whether you're switching to another retailer, simplifying your digital life, or just prioritizing privacy, this guide will walk you through every step to close your Target.com account securely and completely.
There are several reasons users choose to delete their accounts:
Too many online accounts to manage
Concerns over data privacy or security
No longer shopping at Target
Want to avoid marketing emails or promotions
Whatever your reason, Target makes it possible to permanently delete your account—though it's not a one-click process.
Start by visiting Target.com or opening the Target app. Use your email and password to sign in.
Scroll to the bottom of the Target homepage.
Click on “Help” in the footer menu.
Type “delete account” or “close account” into the search bar.
Target does not currently offer a self-service account deletion button. You’ll need to request deletion manually through customer support.
You can:
Call Target Support: 1-800-440-0680
Start a live chat on their website
Submit a request via their Contact Us page
Important: Be prepared to verify your identity (name, email, phone number, billing info, etc.).
Once your request is processed, the following will happen:
Your personal details, such as saved addresses and payment info, will be deleted.
You’ll lose access to order history, digital receipts, and RedCard data.
Your account will be permanently deactivated, and cannot be recovered.
Target will unsubscribe you from all marketing emails.
Make sure to:
Download or screenshot any receipts or order history you may need.
Use or cancel any active gift cards, promotional codes, or subscriptions.
Unlink services like Shipt if connected to your Target account.
While Target doesn't offer a quick "Delete My Account" button, the process is fairly straightforward with help from their Guest Services team. If you're committed to closing your Target account, follow the steps above to ensure a smooth, secure deletion.
