Cancel Read AI and delete what it has

Cancelling the paid plan and deleting what Read AI recorded are separate steps — cancelling alone deletes nothing. Here is each one, in Read AI's own words.

From Read AI's own help pagesRead on 10 November 2026

Cancel the paid plan

  1. Go to your Plan & Billing page, click Cancel plan, then Downgrade to Free. You keep the paid features to the end of the billing period and are not charged again.
  2. In a Workspace, billing belongs to the Workspace owner; your Plan & Billing page will tell you to ask them.

Delete recordings and notes

  1. Open the report, click the three dots at the top right, Delete Report — or do the same from the three dots beside it on your Reports page.
  2. Only the report’s owner can delete it for everyone. Anyone else sees Remove report, which only takes it off their own list.
  3. If a report of you sits in somebody else’s account, Read’s Account & Privacy Center lets you send its owner a request to delete it.

Delete the account

  1. Sign in the same way you signed up — email, or Google, Microsoft or Zoom. Not sure which address? Search your inbox for mail from read.ai and look at the To: line.
  2. Go to Account Settings → Advanced, scroll to Delete Account, click Delete my account, choose a reason and confirm. You land on the sign-up page with “Successfully deleted account”.
  3. You cannot delete it while you own a Workspace — transfer or delete the Workspace first. Read’s support team cannot delete it for you.

Stop the emails

  1. What Read sends to the other people in a meeting is set in Account Settings → Report Sharing.

Good to know

If you installed Read’s Zoom app, remove it at marketplace.zoom.us too. If Read still joins after you have deleted your account, either somebody else in the meeting uses it — its chat message names who invited it — or you have a second Read account you forgot about.

If a recording of you is in somebody else's account

Deleting your own account does not touch recordings other people made of meetings you were in — those belong to whoever recorded them. Ask that person to delete it, or ask Read AI to pass the request on.

Meetings without a notetaker to get rid of

Meetful writes the notes from each person's own microphone inside the meeting, so there is no bot to invite, no separate account holding your recordings, and anybody can leave themselves out of the notes.
