In short, you can’t; you can only disassociate yourself from the account.
By design, blockchains are meant to be an uneditable record of everything that happens on that respective blockchain. Therefore, once an address is created on a blockchain, that information exists forever and cannot be removed or deleted.
Your Valora account can always be recovered by its paired Recovery Phrase. If you ever wish to access this account again, please write down the Recovery Phrase and store it in a safe location. Please note that Valora never has access to your Recovery Phrase and cannot help restore your account.
Additionally, the data that is personalized to you — including your photo and name — is encrypted and stored entirely on your mobile device. Once you uninstall the app, this information will also be deleted.
We recommend the following steps if you wish to discontinue using your Valora account:
- Go to the Settings page, scroll to the bottom, and unlink your phone number.
- Move your funds out of the account*
- Uninstall the app
Once these steps are completed, your personal data will no longer be associated with this account. Want to learn more? Check out our article on Understanding Valora's self-custodial nature.
*This is optional, but be aware that any funds left in the account may be permanently lost if you lose your recovery phrase.
