What is the difference between Delete Your Data and Delete Your Account?

Delete Your Data allows your information to be removed from one or more services but still maintains access to your ICANN Account.

Delete Your Account removes your ICANN Account and associated information, as well as your access to all connected services. If you want to download your ICANN Account information, make sure to do so before deleting your account. However, if you want to access ICANN services in the future, you must create a new ICANN Account.

What should I do if I have questions about my ICANN Account?
