Sometimes you need to move your data to a different account, start over, or leave entirely. All these actions are available in Account Settings.

Transferring data between accounts

To move all bookmarks, collections, tags, highlights, and notes from one account to another:

Log in to the source account and go to [Backup settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/backups) Create a new backup and wait for an email notification Download the **HTML** file from the [Backups page](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/backups) Log out and sign in to the destination account Go to [Import](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/import), upload the file, and click **Start import**

After import, thumbnails and metadata will be downloaded by the server within a few hours.

Resetting your account

To start fresh without creating a new account — remove all bookmarks and collections while keeping your profile and settings.

Go to [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account) Click **Remove all my bookmarks and collections** Confirm the removal

Deleted bookmarks can be restored from Trash.

Removing your account

Deleting your account permanently removes all data — bookmarks, collections, files, tags, highlights, and notes. This action cannot be undone.

Go to [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account) Click **Remove account** Confirm the removal

If you have an active Pro subscription, cancel it before removing your account.
