How to permanently delete A PS4 Account.

You may have had to create multiple PlayStation accounts on PS4 for some reason. Or maybe a lot of people have used your PS4 to add their accounts and you need to get rid of one. Regardless of why you need to delete your PS4 account, it’s easy to do right from your console.

There are several ways to delete an account, depending on what you want to do. You can delete the account from the PS4 console, however, the account itself will still show up on the Playstation network. If you want to completely close your account, you can do that too.
