To delete your LG ThinQ account, you will need to access your LG account management settings, typically through an LG Smart TV or the LG ThinQ mobile app, find the option to delete your account, and confirm your decision by entering your password.
Your LG ThinQ account is essentially your overarching LG Account that connects all your LG smart devices and services, including those managed through the LG ThinQ app. Deleting this account will remove your connection to all associated LG services and devices.

The process for deleting your LG Account, which encompasses your LG ThinQ services, generally involves these steps:

- Via LG ThinQ App: Open the LG ThinQ app on your smartphone or tablet. Look for "Profile," "Settings," or "Account" options, usually accessible from the main dashboard or a menu icon (like three horizontal lines).
-
Navigate to Account Management:
- Once you've accessed your LG Account settings, locate and select the "Account Management" option. This section is crucial for making changes to your account settings.
-
Initiate Account Deletion:
- Within "Account Management," you will find an option specifically for deleting your account. Click on "Delete My Account".

Confirm Your Identity:
- As a security measure, you will be prompted to enter your password to confirm that you are the legitimate owner attempting to delete the account. Enter your password carefully.
-
Final Confirmation (if prompted):
- After entering your password, you might encounter one more screen asking for final confirmation regarding the implications of deleting your account. Review any displayed information and proceed to confirm the deletion.
