Quora is an online community that helps people learn, share and connect. If you have tried the platform out and decided that you no longer wish to have an account, you may be looking to deactivate or permanently delete your account.
It is important to note that there is a difference between deactivating your Quora account and deleting it. Deactivation means that your account will remain active, but cannot be used for viewing Quora content.
Deleting your account permanently deletes all content within it, including answers and votes. However, you can always log back into Quora if you wish to see answers or vote on them again; doing so will not affect your username or password.
