# Change your email address

Cursor accounts are tied to a single email address, and email addresses cannot be changed on existing accounts.

## Can I switch my Cursor account to a different email?

There is no way to change the email on an existing account. As a workaround, you can create a new account with your preferred email.

1. Cancel your subscription (if active) via [cursor.com/dashboard](https://cursor.com/dashboard) > **Manage Subscription** > **Cancel Subscription**
2. Wait for the billing period to end
3. Delete your account at [cursor.com/dashboard](https://cursor.com/dashboard) > **Advanced Account Settings** > **Delete Account**
4. Create a new account at [cursor.com](https://cursor.com) using your preferred email
5. Subscribe to your desired plan on the new account

## What do I lose when I delete my account?

Deleting your account is permanent. You will lose:

- Chat history
- Settings and preferences
- Indexed codebases

Local project files on your computer are not affected.
