How do I delete some of my data without deleting my account?

Short answer

You can delete most of it yourself, any time, as Nex or as Nyx:

  • Posts: the ⋯ menu on the post → Delete Post.
  • Comments and replies: the ⋯ menu on the comment → Delete Comment.
  • Stories and highlights: open its menu and choose Delete. A story also disappears by itself after 24 hours.
  • Messages: open the message's menu → Delete for everyone.
  • Profile details: Edit Profile, then remove the photo, the bio or any optional detail, such as a phone number.
  • Recent searches: in Search, Clear all.

What you delete disappears from Nixyum at once. Posts, comments and media are then erased within 30 days. A message deleted for everyone has its text wiped at once, and its photo, video or voice message is erased within 2 days. Anything under review, removed by a moderator, or needed for a legal claim is kept until that is resolved.

For anything else, email [email protected] from your registered address and say what you want deleted. We'll confirm it's you and reply within 10 working days.
