I have two accounts somehow, and I only want the first account to be active and connected to my facebook. My first account has a few playlists saved that I would like to access. I would like the second account to be closed completely. Why do I have two accounts and can the second one be closed permanently?

I suggest you contact support so they can close your account:

https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support/

 

If you get an automated reply email, you need to reply back to it.

 

Support usually replies within 24-48 hours.

Hey!

If you'd like to stop your Spotify posting to Facebook, just head into 'Preferences' ('Edit' in Windows, 'Spotify' on Mac) and disable 'Show what I listen to...'.

If you'd still like to delete your account however, just contact Customer Support. Just click on 'About us' above, then 'Contact Form'. They'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I have two accounts somehow, and I only want the first account to be active and connected to my facebook. My first account has a few playlists saved that I would like to access. I would like the second account to be closed completely. Why do I have two accounts and can the second one be closed permanently?

I tried contacting support in the way you suggested to close my account(s), I've been waiting for two days for anything more than an automated reply.  Then I read these automated replies in detail and they just tell me to look at the help pages, here or twitter feeds for support.  

 

I just want to close my two accounts - I no longer use them, I don't think its too much to ask to have a "delete account" option in the account settings bar - making me google it because the help pages have no references to closing an account (that I could see) and then when I find this suggestion it turns out to be a dead end anyway is very very frustrating, and will only make people think twice before signing up again in the future.  

 

So is there a current way of closing accounts?  Any help is appreciated. 

 

I'll paste the email I got for both accounts below.

I am getting the same email and it bad customer support for Spotify to not have a much easier way to do this. All I want to do is close my account and be done with this.

I'm having the same problem an i am incredibly unimpressed with this abount of jailing of users. I want to close my account! A company that follows basic Net-etics should know better than to make me jump through hoops like this. - Ive sent the email, ive recieved the standart and useless reply that sent me to this userdriven supportforum....and what now?

Reply to the automated email (even though it says not to) asking for your account to be removed. It will be sent to a member of staff who can assist you 😉

I would like to close my account completely with you, as I do not want to be a member of this website. Your website offers no facility to do this which I think is incredibly poor service. Please remove me.

Exmbob - Just follow the instructions outlined here.

Hi,

 

I recently created an account, but I cannot find my favorite music in your service, so I would like to close my account completely, delete all personal info, etc.

 

Can you help me out?
