If you’re ready to wave goodbye to a profile, please keep in mind that:

• Deleting a profile will also erase its history, saved lists. This is a final action, and can not be undone.
• It is not possible to delete primary profiles, as they are the primary account holder.
• If you wish to delete all of your information under applicable privacy law, your account owner should follow the steps available in our Privacy Policy.

On the website:

1. Select your avatar.
2. Click on Switch Profile.
3. Select MANAGE PROFILES.

Under a free account, previously created profiles will appear gray, and will not be accessible. However, you’ll be able to access those profiles if you re-subscribe to a Crunchyroll Premium membership!

If you aren’t interested in upgrading your account, you can delete the profiles and use the primary account by heading to Switch Profile > MANAGE PROFILES > select the delete icon () and DELETE.

Yes, it is possible to download your games from different devices associated with your account, but the game’s progress will be linked to the primary profile.
