Carry — Family Budget
Delete your Carry account
You can delete an account inside Carry. Personal cloud spaces are removed; local spaces remain on the device; shared history is preserved without your display name.

Delete a space without deleting your account
Open the space, go to Settings → Space settings → Delete space, and review the confirmation screen.
- For a local space, Carry deletes its categories, plans and transactions from this device and removes its Personal Backup recovery point when enabled. Files you previously exported are not deleted.
- For a Carry Cloud space, only the owner can delete it. The owner can first keep an independent local copy or transfer ownership and leave. If deletion is confirmed, the space data, history, settings and memberships are removed and other members lose access.
- Deleting one space does not delete your Carry account, other spaces or store subscription.
Delete in the app
- Open Carry and sign in to the account you want to delete.
- Open Settings, then Account.
- Choose Delete account, review the consequences, and confirm Delete permanently.
If deletion is blocked
If you own a shared space with other members, transfer ownership to one of them first. The space and its history will then remain available to those members. After every shared space has another owner, repeat account deletion.
What is deleted
- Your authentication account and active sessions.
- Personal cloud spaces owned only by you, including their cloud budget history.
- Your membership and future access to shared spaces.
- Your profile display name; retained shared history is attributed to “Deleted user”.
What is not automatically deleted
- Local spaces on the device. Delete them in Carry or remove the app’s local data separately if you no longer need them.
- Shared-space history needed by the remaining members. The history stays, but your display name is removed.
- Excel files or other copies you exported or shared. Delete those from each location yourself.
- An App Store or Google Play subscription. Account deletion does not cancel it; use the store’s subscription management to stop future renewal.
- Limited security logs or protected backups until normal rotation, or records that must be retained by law.
Request deletion without the app
Email support@carrybudget.com from the address associated with the Carry account and use the subject “Delete my Carry account”. Do not include a password or recovery code. We will verify account control before processing the request and may ask you to transfer ownership of shared spaces.
Timing and help
In-app deletion removes the active account after the ownership check completes. Provider backups and security logs rotate separately. If the app reports an error or you need confirmation, contact support@carrybudget.com.
