You can do this from inside the garden too, on your account page.
What gets deleted
- Your account and your email address.
- Your garden, and its name.
- Every entry you have written, including the text, the mood and
the flower.
This is immediate and cannot be undone. There is no grace period and no
way for us to restore it for you afterwards.
One copy can briefly outlive it: our database is backed up once a day and
each backup is kept for seven days, so a deleted entry is gone from the
last of them within a week. Nobody reads those backups — they exist so a
technical accident cannot take everybody's writing with it.
The privacy policy says more.
Take your writing with you first
If there is anything in your garden you would want to read again, sign in
below and download it before you delete. It takes one tap and the file is
plain readable text.
Do it
Step 1 — confirm it's you
We will email you a link. Opening it brings you back to this page,
signed in. We ask for this because a page that deletes a diary on a
single click is a page somebody could be tricked into opening.
Check your email
Almost there!
We have sent a sign-in link to . Open it and you
will come back to this page, signed in and able to delete.
It should arrive within a minute.
If it does not, check your spam folder.
Signed in as
Download your diary first?
Or start over instead
If you only want a clean garden, this deletes every entry and keeps
your account.
Delete everything
Type DELETE to confirm. This removes your account, your garden
and every entry, permanently.
If you cannot sign in
If you no longer have access to the email address on the account, write
to hello@brainpetals.com from
any address and say which email the account uses. We will verify what we
reasonably can and delete it for you.
Deleting somebody's diary because a stranger asked would be far worse
than making you wait, so this route is slower and involves a person. If
you can still get into your email, the button above is instant.
