• To delete your account on either device, you'll have to enter your username and password to confirm the change.

Sometimes deleting a Flipboard magazine isn't enough. Whether you've opted to get your news from somewhere else, or have discovered you actually have more than one account, deleting your account on the social news service can be a quick and easy process.

You can delete your Flipboard account directly on the mobile app or by visiting the Flipboard site through a browser. Both methods are simple to follow, though they'll look slightly different depending on the device you are using.

Apple or Android phone and tablet Flipboard users will need to access their settings menu on their profile page. If you decide to delete your Flipboard account through your desktop, it's one less step.

Regardless of the device, you will need to have your username and password on hand to confirm the deletion. Deleting your account will remove all of your magazines and followers, and you'll have to start from scratch if you ever decide to make a new account.

Here's how to do it.
