How to Cancel or Permanently Delete the Cash App Account
Cash App is a platform to transfer or receive money from your friends and family—but sometimes your friends or family might prefer any other platform.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to do it.
Before you cancel or permanently delete the Cash App account, make sure to withdraw all the funds from the account. Moreover, it is suggested not to uninstall the application unless you’re confirmed that your Cash App account is permanently closed to avoid any inconvenience.

To withdraw all the funds, go to the Banking section on the Cash App. Tap on the Banking icon in the bottom left corner and press the Cash Out button.
