title: Delete your Status profile
---
Status uses a [peer-to-peer network][peer-to-peer-messaging] that temporarily stores your profile information and data. Because of this decentralized network, there is no one-click way to delete your profile and all associated data.
## What to expect
- If you decide to stop using a profile, you can leave it inactive for 30 days or more. By doing so, the Status peer-to-peer network stops caching your information and the profile is irretrievably lost. You can always create a new Status profile.
- Though your profile is lost, your wallet funds are not. Your wallet funds are safe and available if you know [your recovery phrase] [create-or-restore-your-status-profile-using-a-recovery-phrase].
- The messages you sent are still accessible to the recipients, whether they are direct messages or messages in a group chat or community.
- People still can see all information you display on your profile screen. For example, your profile name, photo, bio and linked social media.
## Delete your Status Profile
Here are things you can do if you want to stop using a profile:
- [x] [Transfer assets][send-crypto] out of your Status wallet.
- [x] Inform your contacts the profile is out of use.
- [x] [Leave group chats][leave-a-group-chat] and [communities][leave-a-status-community] you joined.
- [x] [Edit your profile][edit-your-profile] and remove your personal information.
- [x] [Remove your profile][remove-a-status-profile-from-your-profile-list] from all your devices and leave it inactive for 30 days.
