How do I clear my WhatsApp history and delete my account on Windows 10 Mobile?
You heard great things, you downloaded the app, you gave it a shot, but decide WhatsApp isn't for you. It's cool. No need to make this breakup long and drawn out. Time for you both to move on with your life! But who gets to keep the cat?
WhatsApp makes deleting your account easy, but it is a permanent action. You can always download the app again, but when you reinstall you'll be starting over from scratch — all of your settings and chat histories will be gone forever.

That's it! Your account is now deleted from WhatsApp. Your message history, groups, and WhatsApp contacts are now gone from your phone. If you decide to sign up for WhatsApp again on this phone or a new phone down the road, you will not have any of your previous WhatsApp chats available and you will have to re-add your contacts and groups to WhatsApp.
