How can I deactivate my Ashley Madison account?

To deactivate an Ashley Madison account, one must first log into their account on the Ashley Madison website. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Manage Profile' section, where you will find the options for deactivating or deleting the profile. Selecting 'Deactivate Your Profile' will hide the profile from search results and make it invisible to other members. Confirm the deactivation and the account will no longer be active or visible on the site. It's important to note that deactivation does not automatically cancel any subscriptions that were purchased, so one should ensure to manage their subscription preferences accordingly to avoid unexpected charges. If complete removal of the account is desired, instead of deactivation, one should select "Delete Your Profile" for a full deletion.
