Frequently Asked Question About Deleting A LinkedIn Account.

What happens after I delete my LinkedIn account?

I suggest that before you delete your LinkedIn account, you should take note of the following:

1. You will no longer be able to access your connections or any information you’ve added to your account.

2. Your profile will no longer be visible on LinkedIn.

3. Search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing may still display your information temporarily as a result of the way they collect and update their search data.

4. You’ll lose all recommendations and endorsements you’ve on your LinkedIn profile.

5. Before you close your Basic account, you must resolve your premium membership, own a LinkedIn group, or have a premium account license.

6. It takes LinkedIn up to seven days to delete all your information from its servers.

However, immediately after you delete your account, all your contacts and profile information will be deleted.

This means that if you decide to return to LinkedIn again, you’ll have to open a completely new profile and rebuild your endorsements and connections from the beginning.

Thankfully, LinkedIn allows you to download a copy of your data before deleting your account in case you want to retain any information after you have closed the account.
