I’ve always been that person the one obsessing over every email, every blog post, every tweet. Typos? Nope, not on my watch. So naturally, when I found out about Grammarly, it felt like a dream come true.
A tool that would catch all my little mistakes, offer real-time suggestions, and basically act as my personal editor 24/7? Sign me up.
And I did. I logged in, signed up with my email and password, and within minutes, I had Grammarly integrated into my browser and ready to work its magic on everything I wrote. The experience was sleek, straightforward, and kind of exciting in a nerdy way.
But over time, something changed.
I Tried Grammarly Premium and That’s When It Got Complicated
At first, I was on the Free version. It did enough to keep me happy. I used it across my desktop, mobile device, and even inside the Grammarly Editor online. But after a while, curiosity got the better of me. What was behind that paywall? I needed to know.
I upgraded. I entered my login credentials, added my card, and dove into the Premium features. And honestly? For a while, it felt like a productivity high. The advanced suggestions, the tone detector, the full access to all of my documents it felt like I’d finally leveled up my writing game.
But then came one annoying issue…
Canceling Grammarly Shouldn’t Be This Frustrating
At some point, I realized I wasn’t using the Premium features enough to justify the cost. So, I decided to cancel my subscription.
Here’s what happened:
- I went to the Subscription page.
- Clicked Cancel Subscription at the bottom.
- A window popped up, asking for a reason.
- I clicked Continue… and then it asked again.
It wasn’t hard per se, but it was a bit of a loop. And if you’ve ever had that feeling like a site is trying just a bit too hard to keep you around, you know what I mean. Honestly, it felt a bit manipulative.
What annoyed me most? Even after canceling, my account was still active, and I kept getting emails. Not spammy ones, but reminders that made it clear I hadn’t really “left” yet.
This One Reason Made Me Delete My Grammarly Account
After canceling my subscription, I figured I was done. But deep down, I was still a little uncomfortable with how much personal information Grammarly had stored my data, my documents, my login history.
And I hate that feeling.
So I decided to go one step further: full deletion. This wasn’t just about canceling payments. It was about control.
To delete my account, I had to:
- Log in at grammarly.com/signin
- Head to my profile at account.grammarly.com/profile
- Scroll to the bottom and click Delete Account
Simple enough. But then came the verification.
Because I used an email and password to sign up, I had to enter my password again. If you signed up with Google or Facebook, you’d need to select the corresponding Google account or enter your Facebook password. It wasn’t complicated but it was just enough friction to make me pause and question: Why am I really doing this?
And that’s when I realized: I just didn’t want Grammarly managing my account anymore especially not under some legal entity or hidden organization if I was part of a team plan I didn’t even remember signing into.
What Happened After I Deleted Grammarly
After clicking Delete Account, I got a final warning: this action cannot be undone. A last reminder that all my documents, data, and saved content would be permanently removed.
Honestly? I hesitated.
But I clicked Submit.
And that was it. No more Grammarly. No more support tickets. No more subscription. Just a clean break.
Final Thoughts (And a Quick Word of Caution)
I still love what Grammarly tried to do. It’s a cool tool, especially for writers, students, and tech-savvy professionals who don’t want to miss a single typo.
But if you’re thinking of deleting your Grammarly account or even just canceling your subscription, make sure:
- You access the correct account (especially if you have more than one).
- You know that deleting is permanent you won’t get your data back.
- You submit a support request if you’re stuck, especially if you signed up via the App Store.
- You cancel all future payments properly (look for the Cancel Subscription button, or you might miss it).
I don’t regret using Grammarly. But I’m also not going back anytime soon.
If you’re stuck between keeping your account or deleting it, ask yourself what’s more important: convenience or control?
And if you’ve already taken the plunge did you regret it, or was it worth it? Let me know.
