Are you ready to say goodbye to LinkedIn Learning? Perhaps your subscription's ended, you've completed your learning goals, or you simply prefer other platforms. Whatever your reason, deleting your LinkedIn Learning account is a straightforward process. This guide provides a concise summary of how to do it. We'll cover the steps involved and address some common questions.
Understanding LinkedIn Learning and Account Deletion
LinkedIn Learning, a subscription-based online learning platform, offers a vast library of courses. While it's a valuable resource for professional development, circumstances may lead you to want to delete your account. It's crucial to understand that deleting your LinkedIn Learning account does not delete your main LinkedIn profile. They are separate entities.
What Happens When You Delete Your LinkedIn Learning Account?
Deleting your account means:
- Loss of access: You'll lose access to all courses, learning progress, certificates, and any other data associated with your LinkedIn Learning account.
- No refund: You won't receive a refund for any remaining subscription time. Ensure you've cancelled any recurring billing before deleting your account.
- Profile remains: Your LinkedIn profile will remain unaffected.
Step-by-Step Guide to Deleting Your LinkedIn Learning Account
Unfortunately, there isn't a single, direct "Delete Account" button within the LinkedIn Learning interface. The process involves cancelling your subscription and then contacting LinkedIn support to request account removal.
Here's a simplified summary of the process:
-
Cancel your subscription: First, cancel your recurring subscription to prevent further charges. This step is crucial, but the exact method depends on how you initially signed up (directly through LinkedIn or via a third-party). Check your LinkedIn account settings for subscription management options.
-
Contact LinkedIn Support: After cancelling your subscription, reach out to LinkedIn's customer support team. Explain that you wish to delete your LinkedIn Learning account. Be prepared to provide your account details for verification purposes.
Important Note: The exact methods and contact information for LinkedIn support may vary. Always refer to LinkedIn's official help center for the most up-to-date instructions. Their support team can guide you through the process and answer any specific questions you might have.
