Pandora is an excellent service for all your music needs. However, if you feel you're done with your Pandora account, or if you're moving out of the US, you may wish to cancel your Pandora account. Pandora has both free and subscription-based services, so select the option below that best fits your scenario. Keep reading for simple instructions on how to deactivate, cancel, or permanently delete your Pandora account.
Deactivate Your Pandora Account
Pandora doesn't have a process in place to deactivate or temporarily suspend your account. If you're a paid subscriber, you can cancel your Pandora subscription (see below), and resubscribe at any point. If you're a free listener, your account will simply remain open even when you're not using it. When you choose to start using your Pandora account again, you'll still have the content and Thumbs you've curated within your account.
