Account Deletion

Delete your ircly account

This works whether or not you still have the app installed.

Option 1 — instant, if you can still connect

If you still have the app, or any IRC client, connect to irc.ircly.net, identify with your nickname and password, then run:

/msg NickServ DROP

This immediately removes your registered nickname and its associated account data — password, saved preferences, friends list, and any other data tied to the account. This action can't be undone.

Option 2 — request it directly, no app needed

If you've uninstalled the app, forgotten your password, or would rather not use the command above, email a deletion request directly:

Email a deletion request

Include the nickname you registered so the right account can be located and removed. Requests are handled directly by the person who runs ircly — this is a small, independently-run network, not a large company with an automated pipeline, so it may take a short time to process, but it will be handled.

What gets deleted

Your registered nickname and its password
Any profile info you set (avatar, badge, bio, color)
Synced preferences (favorites, friends list, ignore list, channel order)
Any channel ownership tied to that account

Chat messages sent to public channels are, by nature of IRC, already visible to whoever was present at the time and aren't retroactively removable from other people's clients or logs, the same way a spoken conversation can't be unheard. Anything ircly itself stores under your account — as listed above — is what this deletion request removes.
