What happens to my files when I delete my TurboSquid account?
When you choose to delete your TurboSquid account, any files you have uploaded, purchased, or downloaded will no longer be accessible. Below is an explanation of how your files are affected and steps you should take before proceeding with account deletion.
Impacts of TurboSquid Account Deletion
Loss of Access to Files
After your account is deleted, you permanently lose access to all the files you have uploaded, purchased, or downloaded through TurboSquid. This includes any assets or models that may be hosted on the platform.
Future Access Possibilities
Once an account is deleted, it is not possible to restore access to the files via the deleted account. If you wish to access files from TurboSquid again, you would need to rejoin the platform and create a new account. However, this would not restore previously purchased or downloaded files from the old account.
Requests for deletion are typically processed within 1-2 business days, after which the account and its data are permanently removed.
