I cannot delete my adobe account. It requires new card information, but I have canceled my cards, I do not have a card to update the billing information, and now I cannot delete my account. I just want the subscription canceled and account deleted.

    I understand how frustrating it is when you're trying to cancel a plan and delete your account but are unable to proceed because of a billing issue.

     

    Based on what you've described, it sounds like the Creative Cloud subscription is currently in a past-due billing state. Account-specific billing and subscription issues can't be reviewed or resolved here in the public community.

     

    Please contact us directly so we can review the subscription and help with the cancellation process:

    No. It is just my account and creative cloud. When I go to delete the account, it says “ Before you can request to permanently delete your Adobe account, you must cancel your active plans.” But I cannot cancel my active plan because it says I need to give it a new credit card, but my card is canceled and I do not have a card to give to cancel the plan.
