How Do I Deactivate My VSCO Account?
VSCO gives you two options to deactivate your account
- Deactivate your VSCO profile only and keep your VSCO account active
- Deactivate your complete VSCO account including profile
In the first option, you can only deactivate your profile, including Grid, Collections or Journals. (Your profile will no longer be accessible publicly)
The second option will deactivate your entire account — you’ll no longer be able to access your VSCO profile and purchases, and you’ll be unsubscribed from all emails.
Please note: You must be logged in to deactivate your account. Once an account is deactivated, your profile name and email cannot be used to create a new VSCO account in the future.
Deleting the VSCO app does not delete your account or cancel your VSCO membership or 7-day trial. If you have started a VSCO membership trial, you must cancel the trial so that you are not charged after the trial period.
This is the method you can follow to cancel the trial.
