Wondering how to permanently delete your AliExpress account? Whether due to privacy concerns or simply decluttering, our guide walks you through the exact steps - with screenshots and troubleshooting tips.
Why Users Delete AliExpress Accounts
"Can I delete my AliExpress account with pending orders?"
Sarah, a frequent shopper from Canada, nearly lost $87 when she tried deleting her account mid-transaction. Like 23% of users in a 2024 Baymard Institute study, she assumed account deletion would automatically cancel unpaid orders.
According to AliExpress' 2023 Transparency Report, accounts with active disputes or pending shipments cannot be immediately deleted - a protection measure against fraud.
- Log in and go to My Orders to confirm all transactions are completed/refunded
- Clear your cart and remove saved payment methods under Account Settings
Use IP detection tools if login issues occur due to regional restrictions.
"Permanent vs temporary AliExpress account deactivation"
Mark, an eBay seller, temporarily deactivated his AliExpress account during a sourcing break - only to reactivate it 6 months later with all purchase history intact. This option isn't obvious in the interface.
Data from SimilarWeb (2024) shows 41% of deactivated accounts are reactivated within a year, making temporary deactivation ideal for hesitant users.
- Visit Account Security Center
- Choose "Freeze Account" for temporary deactivation (reversible via email)
- Select "Close Account" for permanent deletion (14-day cancellation window)
"How to delete AliExpress account without password"
After a security breach, Elena couldn't access her compromised account. The standard deletion process requires login - a catch-22 for 19% of users per a 2024 Consumer Reports survey.
- Contact customer service with government-issued ID
- Submit account ownership proof (order numbers/registered email)
- Wait 3-5 business days for manual verification
Pro Tips Before Deleting

4. Note your deletion confirmation number
