Why get rid of Tumblr?
While entertaining, Tumblr has seen a significant decline in its user base over the past few years. Some of the most common reasons users abandon the service are as follows:
- There is skepticism amongst Tumblr’s userbase that the platform will keep private information safe. More than 65 million people had their email addresses and passwords compromised in 2016.
- New social media sites are more entertaining.
- There have been many reports of inappropriate content on the platform.
- Constantly checking your feed might take a toll on your mental health, leading some people to decide to give up social media altogether. The search term “How to delete your online presence” is increasing in popularity.
- If you’re concerned about your online anonymity, you might be on the lookout for more cutting-edge methods of communication.

What happens when you delete a Tumblr account?
When you cancel your Tumblr account, all of your blogs, both primary and secondary, will be deleted. Tumblr is not like other social media platforms where deleted accounts can be restored.
It will not be possible to reactivate your account after you have deleted it. It would be wise to stop and consider the potential outcomes before moving forward.
Your main account and blog will remain intact if you delete just one of your blogs.
