Notes About Closing/Deleting Your Account
Before you close or delete your account, make sure all pending transactions/withdrawals are completed. Binance doesn't recommend deleting your account entirely. So, it gives you the option to disable/close the account and leave the information on file. Once you delete your account, you cannot recover the information. However, you can reinstate a disabled account. For more information on Binance account management or closing/deleting your account, contact customer support here.
