-
Mission: Login Accepted
First things first, you gotta log in to your Hulu account on a web browser. The mobile app won't let you perform this digital disappearing act (sorry, gotta be done on a computer). -
Account HQ: Where the Magic Happens
Navigate to your account settings. It's usually hidden behind a sneaky little dropdown menu in the upper right corner. Click on that bad boy and find the section labeled "Account" or something equally cryptic. -

Under "Right to Delete," you'll find the holy grail: "Start Deletion." Be warned: this is the point of no return. Once you click this button, your Hulu days are officially over. -
Choose Your Own Adventure: Immediate or Delayed Deletion
Hulu will offer you a choice: delete your account immediately or wait until the end of your billing cycle. It's like ripping off a bandaid – choose your torture method wisely. -
Confirmation Station: Double Checking You Mean Business
Hulu will likely send you a confirmation email to make sure you're not having a second bout of Schitt's Creek-induced amnesia. Click the confirmation link, and poof! Your Hulu account is gone, like tears in the rain.
