Sina Weibo does not allow its users to delete accounts. If you no longer want to use your Weibo account, you can delete all uploads and anonymize uploaded personal information.
Step
Step 1. Replace personal information with false information
While you can't delete an account, you can protect your identity by changing your name, address, and city to other information. Here's how to do it:
- Log in to your Weibo account.
- Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Choose " Account settings ”.
- Click " Edit ” next to the entry you want to edit.
- Replace all of them with the phrase Delete account″ or whatever you want.
- Save changes.
Step 2. Delete profile photo
Since you need to anonymize your profile, don't let anyone recognize you through your photos.
Step 3. Delete all uploads
To completely hide yourself on Weibo, delete everything you've ever uploaded by selecting the Delete option on each microblog uploaded.
Step 4. Upload political or controversial (but not illegal) content
Weibo is notorious for deleting controversial accounts or expressing unpopular (or scathing) opinions. It is possible that by sharing unpopular views, Weibo will delete your account. However, follow these steps at your own risk.
- Please make sure you are familiar with the applicable laws and customs in your country/region before uploading anything to Weibo.
- Some users reported that replacing old profile photos with political or controversial messages could prompt Weibo to close or delete your account.
