How to Delete a Flickr Account?

If you no longer use your Flickr account, you got to choose one option from the two. You can either delete your Flickr  Account permanently or you can temporarily deactivate your Flickr account with the help of Flickr parent site which is Yahoo. Deleting your Flickr account is useful if you want a fresh start for your Flickr profile. Keep in mind that when you delete either your Flickr or Yahoo account, you’ll also be deleting your login information and would have to re-register in order to begin again with Flickr. Let’s check How to Delete a Flickr Account?

How to Delete a Flickr Account?

  • Open the Flickr App on one of your devices.
  • Log in to your Flickr account using your Yahoo username and password
  • Deleting your Flickr account will remove all your uploaded photos and your account settings while preserving your Yahoo account.
  • Also, if you have a Flickr Pro subscription, you’ll first need to cancel your subscription to avoid accidental charges.

  • You can also click “Select All” next to the photos’ date of origin to select multiple photos for download.
  • Delete the photos which you wish to so that Google doesn’t archive your Flickr images.
  • Although deleting your Flickr also deletes your photos, Google sometimes saves and displays screenshots of deleted pages. Deleting your photos before closing your account means your photos won’t appear in the archived screenshot.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
