Delete your account

What deleting actually removes, what stays behind for the rest of your team, and the one case that catches scorekeepers — the games you created go with you.

Deleting is immediate and permanent. There is no grace period, no archived copy and nothing anybody here can restore afterwards, so if you want to keep your numbers, download them first — the website's Profile page has an Export card with your whole at-bat history as a CSV, one row per at-bat, and a team season can be exported the same way while you are still a member.

On your phone

  1. On Home, tap your initial in the top right to open Profile, and scroll to the very bottom, past Sign Out. Delete Account is the red text at the end.
  2. Tap it. The first alert is the warning — "This will permanently delete your account and all your data: games, at-bats, stats, seasons, and team memberships. A team game you created is deleted with it, and every at-bat on that game goes too, including your teammates'." — then where to download a copy first, with Open slugstats.com to go there, and Delete Permanently.
  3. A second alert, headed "Are you sure?", asks once more and ends with Yes, Delete. There is nothing to type on the phone, so these two alerts are the whole safety net — read them rather than tapping through.
  4. If this phone is holding work somebody else recorded here that never reached the server, the second alert names them and says deleting takes it too. Cancel, open Sync status under APP and send it first.
  5. Afterwards you are signed out and this account's data and sign-in are cleared off the phone. Any other account on the same phone is untouched.

On the web

  1. Open Profile and scroll the right-hand column to the end. The last card is Danger Zone.
  2. Click Delete Account.
  3. The dialog asks you to type DELETE — in capitals, into the box — and Delete Permanently stays off until it matches exactly. Cancel leaves everything as it was.
  4. It runs at once: you are signed out and sent back to the home page. Nothing asks again and nothing can be undone from there.

What goes is everything the account is the owner of: the account and its sign-in, your player profile — name, nickname, jersey number, which way you bat and throw, your recorder options and your language — every season you made, every game you created, every at-bat you recorded, your place on every team's roster and your email preferences. An at-bat a teammate recorded for you goes too, and it is removed rather than handed back to whoever recorded it, so nobody else's batting line changes because you left.

The case worth stopping on is the scorekeeper's, because it surprises people. A game belongs to whoever created it, so a team game you created is deleted along with your account — and every at-bat on it goes with the game, including your teammates' and your roster-only players'. There is no way to hand a game to somebody else first. If you are the one who creates your team's games, deleting your account empties that history for the whole team, so tell them, and let somebody export the team's season to a spreadsheet before you do it.

What survives is the team and everything that hangs off the other members. The team itself keeps going as long as anyone else is still on it — its name, its logo, its invite code and every game somebody else created, with your name simply off the roster. A team you created is no exception: being the one who started it is not ownership of it. The roster-only players you added stay, and so do the at-bats you recorded for them on other people's games. A team season wrap you published stays up at its link, and so does a logo you uploaded.

Three smaller consequences. A team whose last remaining member deletes their account goes with them, roster-only players and all — nobody is left to see it. A personal season wrap about you stops working, deliberately: that link is public to anyone holding it, so it is cut rather than left serving a nameless stat line. And a feedback message you sent us stays with us, no longer attached to any account but still carrying the name and address it was sent under.

If what you actually want is off one team rather than out of the app, that is a different and much smaller thing — leaving a team keeps your at-bats and your stats exactly as they are.
