You will lose your learning progress, achievements, and Tinycards. This deletion can take up to 30 days.

Navigate to your email. You can use a desktop or mobile app or web browser to get to your mail and follow the link.

Click the "Erase-Confirm" link in the email from Duolingo. You'll see an email from Duolingo titled "Duolingo personal data erasure request confirmation" that contains a link you need to click to confirm and continue deleting your account and personal data. You can ignore this email if you've decided not to delete your Duolingo account. You have 7 days after clicking the link to cancel by clicking the second link in the email. You'll see the link to cancel the deletion contains the words "erase cancel" in the address, whereas the first link to continue to delete your account has the words "erase confirm" in the address. Once you click the link in the email to confirm the erase of your personal data, you'll no longer be able to log in to duolingo.com and will be notified via email when your account and information is completely erased.
