If you want to delete your profile from Ashley Madison's site, you have two options. You can deactivate your account or delete it completely. Upon deactivation, the profile is removed from search results and hidden from the public, but the ability to restore and reuse your account remains. If you delete it completely, not only will you remove the profile from your search results and the site, it will also delete all photos, browsing history, and all messages sent and received on your account. While it is possible to use Ashley Madison's service through an application on a mobile device, the feature that allows you to delete an account is only available on the computer version.
