How to delete a Disney+ profile

Disney+ enrolled more than 10 million subscribers in the first 24 hours of launch. Although the release wasn’t exactly seamless, users still have a lot to look forward to, with content from Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and National Geographic, not to mention Disney’s extensive vault of classic films and Disney Channel original movies and shows. Oh, and don’t forget high-profile shows like The Simpsons.

With such an enormous content library, Disney+ has something for everyone. And to make sure everyone in your home can take advantage of it, Disney+ allows you to set up to 10 distinct profiles so everybody using an account can access personal watchlists, save shows to watch later, and receive better recommendations via Disney’s algorithm. After all, your 3-year-old might not quite grasp the nuances of The Simpsons episodes the system recommends based on your watch history.

That being said, 10 profiles might seem like a lot. If you got excited in the first week and created a profile for every member of your family — dog included — you may want to dial it back and make room for others to access your account. Fortunately, Disney+ makes it incredibly easy to remove a profile, though the method for doing so will differ depending on how you created the profile.

How to delete a profile on Disney+

Step 1: From your primary profile’s homepage, tap or click your Character in the upper-right corner.

Step 2: Select Edit Profiles on the resulting drop-down menu.

Step 3: Click on the profile you want to delete, scroll down and select the blue Delete Profile button, then confirm your decision.

What’s new on Disney+ in May 2025
Asajj Ventress trains a young boy in Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld.

It may be a Star Wars-heavy month on Disney+, but Marvel fans will undoubtedly be happy to see Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse debut on the streamer on May 1. This was one of the few films that defied superhero fatigue in 2023 with a rousing story and an ending that still has us excited to see Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse around two years from now. But at this rate, the third film won't hit Disney+ until 2029!
Andor season 2 will wrap up the series with six episodes in May, but Star Wars fans will also get a new animated anthology series, Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, on May 4. Meanwhile, the second season of Doctor Who on Disney+ will also wrap up, which leaves one wondering what's in store for June when neither Star Wars nor Marvel has any shows slated to debut next month.
Our roundup of everything new on Disney+ in May 2025 can be found below, with our favorites highlighted in bold.

Everything leaving Hulu in May 2025
Thomas Jane sits on a horse with a gun.

After months of dropping lesser-known movies at the end of the month, Hulu is shedding considerably more movies in May. Most of the films exiting Hulu in May are documentaries, including Gamestop: Rise of the Players, The Capote Tapes, and All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding.
As with the previous months in 2025, most of the scripted movies exiting Hulu may have completely escaped your notice. How many movie lovers knew that John Travolta starred in Mob Land? Or that Alicia Silverstone has her Jaws moment in The Requin? Those films can be discovered now, but they aren't necessarily up to the stars' usual standards.

To help you make your viewing plans for the month, we're sharing our guide to everything leaving Hulu in May. Our picks for the month are in bold.

Everything leaving Netflix in May 2025

Unfortunately, Netflix tends to wait until the middle of the month to announce what's leaving on the 1st of the following month. Many of the titles departing Netflix on May 1 are great films, including Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Friday, Queen & Slim, and more. There isn't much time to catch those movies, but there's still a whole month to make sure you can watch any of your favorite shows or films before they head out the door.
The Lost City, The Peanut Butter Falcon, A Simple Favor, and The Sum of All FearsĀ are all leaving Netflix this month. But if you love superheroes, catch the animated Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series. Both of those shows have some incredible superhero stories with great writing and voice acting. The live-action films have yet to be able to recapture the spirit of the comic books that these shows pulled off over two decades ago.
Our roundup of everything leaving Netflix in May 2025 is below. Our picks for the month are in bold.

Trying to fit in some great movies or shows before they're gone from other streaming services at the end of the month? Check our monthly roundup of everything leaving Hulu. You can find even more recommendations in our lists of the best new shows to stream, the best movies on Netflix, and the best shows on Netflix.
