Sometimes you need to move your data to a different account, start over, or leave entirely. All these actions are available in [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account).

## Transferring data between accounts

To move all bookmarks, collections, tags, highlights, and notes from one account to another:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log in to the source account and go to [Backup settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/backups)
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Create a new backup and wait for an email notification
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Download the **HTML** file from the [Backups page](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/backups)
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Log out and sign in to the destination account
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Go to [Import](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/import), upload the file, and click **Start import**
  </Step>
</Steps>

After import, thumbnails and metadata will be downloaded by the server within a few hours.

## Resetting your account

To start fresh without creating a new account — remove all bookmarks and collections while keeping your profile and settings.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Go to [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account)
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Remove all my bookmarks and collections**

    Confirm the removal
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Removing your account

Deleting your account permanently removes all data — bookmarks, collections, files, tags, highlights, and notes. This action cannot be undone.

    Go to [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account)
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Remove account**
