Account Deletion
How to request deletion of your PakFiler account and what happens to your data.
How to delete your account
You can request deletion of your account directly from the app:
- Sign in to your PakFiler account.
- Open Dashboard → My Profile.
- Scroll to the Delete account section.
- Type DELETE to confirm and submit your request.
If you cannot access the app, email us at support@pakfiler.com from the email address registered to your account, and we will process the request on your behalf.
7-day grace period
When you request deletion, your account is immediately scheduled for deletion and you are signed out. For the next 7 days, you can sign in again to cancel the request and fully reactivate your account.
After the 7-day window ends, sign-in is permanently disabled and the account is treated as deleted.

Deleted on request:
- Account profile (name, email, mobile, CNIC, address, occupation, date of birth)
- FBR / IRIS credentials (PIN, password, NTN)
