Print

To permanently delete your orkut profile, please follow these steps:

  1. Click settings on the left sidebar of your profile.

  2. On the general tab, click delete my orkut account.

  3. You'll be taken to a page that gives further instructions and a link to delete my account. Clicking this link will re-direct you to the Delete orkut page of your Google Account.

  4. Check the box confirming that you really want to delete your orkut profile from your Google Account.

  5. Once you enter your password and click Remove orkut you will no longer be able to log into orkut.com, but your Google Account will remain active. Please do not try to access your orkut profile again, since this action may restore it.

To permanently delete your Google Account, including all services associated with it, click close account and delete all services and info associated with it and follow the instructions. If you select this option, you will not be able to restore this account or the services associated with it such as orkut, Picasa, or Gmail.

Please note that once you've clicked Delete orkut, we won't be able to restore your profile or any of the information on that profile.

Keep in mind that any communities you own won't be deleted when you delete your profile. If you'd like to delete your communities, please do so before deleting your profile. Alternatively, you may also transfer ownership of your community to another community member. Otherwise, another user may become the moderator of any ownerless communities.
