# Deleting your account (https://docs.hireway.dev/docs/account/deleting-your-account)

Deleting your account removes it and everything in it for good. There is no grace period and no way to restore it, so download a copy of your data first if you might want it later.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

[Export your data](/docs/account/exporting-your-data) from **Settings → Account → Your data**. The zip holds your resumes, cover letters and job applications as JSON files.

## What gets deleted [#what-gets-deleted]

- Every resume and cover letter, including those in the trash, and their version history.
- Every job application.
- Every public resume link. Anyone who opens one sees a page that no longer exists.
- Your uploaded files, such as photos.
- Your assistant conversations, API keys, saved AI providers, passkeys and linked social accounts.

<Warning>
  This can't be undone from the app. To use Hireway again, [create a new account](/docs/account/creating-an-account) and
  [import](/docs/documents/importing-resumes) resumes you saved as JSON or PDF.
</Warning>
