Note: The main profile on your Netflix account cannot be deleted. Once you delete a profile, the viewing history and game saves for that profile will no longer be available. If you can't edit a profile from your device, visit Netflix.com on a web browser and follow the steps above.
Open the Netflix app, navigate to the menu items on the left, and choose the uppermost item that says Switch Profiles. You'll see all your Netflix profiles along with an edit icon beneath each. Select that edit icon under the profile you want to delete. Select Delete Profile at the bottom of the following screen.
Netflix, a video streaming service, keeps the account details of a user for 10 months even after the user cancels the subscription. The video streaming platform says that it is their standard practice to automatically delete Netflix accounts 10 months after the Netflix membership has been cancelled.
Sometimes, due to a poor connection between the Netflix application and its respective server, your account data, including your Netflix profile and history, disappear.
You can create a Profile Lock PIN, and then require the PIN to be entered before a new profile is added on your account. Note: Some devices cannot be updated with new features such as Profile Lock PINs.
Both the Basic and Basic with ads plans allow you to watch Netflix on one screen only. With a Standard subscription, you can watch Netflix on two screens at the same time. Those with a Premium plan are able to watch Netflix on four screens at once.
A Netflix account is for use by one household. Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are — at home, on the go, on holiday — and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices. We recognize that our members have many entertainment choices.
Pay for Premium and there can be four devices of any kind watching Netflix at the exact same time. However, those users and devices cannot be permanently in another household.
“The Netflix service and any content accessed through the service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household unless otherwise allowed by your subscription plan.”

Netflix's crackdown on password sharing begins in Australia. You'll now need to pay an extra $8 a month to share outside your household.
Netflix viewers will dip in 2023 thanks to paid sharing—which could cause a long-term Gen Z problem. The news: Netflix will lose viewers for the second consecutive year in 2023, according to our new forecast update. The number of viewers is expected to decrease by 0.5% to 170.6 million.
To determine your household, Netflix uses the IP address and device information of the primary location where you use the service. Devices that have connected to it in the past 30 days from that location are considered part of that primary location, even when used elsewhere.
Tap on your profile icon in the upper right-hand corner. Tap on “Account.” Scroll down to “Security and Privacy” and tap on “Manage access and devices.” You will see the most recent devices active on your account.
With the new policy, only users who are part of a “Netflix Household”—those who are using the same internet connection—will be able to access the account unless they are paid additional users added onto a Standard or Premium plan.
Many were confused about how the company was going to enforce the plan and surprised to find that it applied to them. Here is what we know so far: Netflix says an account can only be used by members of one physical household, sharing one internet connection.
Some 100 million people watch Netflix using someone else's account, the company says. Citi analyst Jason Bazinet estimated that streaming services lose about $25 billion a year. Netflix accounts for about 25% of that lost revenue.
For years, Netflix turned a blind eye to password sharing because it was fueling growth. But the streamer suffered heavy subscriber losses last year, and said that password sharing hurt its revenues and therefore limited its ability to invest in new content.
What are the new rules? Netflix will only let people share an account if they live in the same household — or pay an extra fee. It'll ask people using someone else's account to get a new account of their own or stay on as a paid "extra member".
The email informs users that a Netflix account should only be used in one household. Paying customers can add a member outside of their homes for an additional fee. In Australia, the fee is $7.99 per month.
