Samsung allows you to delete your account permanently from your profile page. Sometimes all you have to do is to send them an email. And once your request is successful your settings, device data, and location data in Samsung’s main user database will be removed. However, Samsung may retain some of your personal data for certain legal, security, and other needs.
The procedure for deleting your Samsung is slightly different depending on the method you choose. You can cancel your Samsung from the account settings, or by sending a request that your account should be deleted to Samsung Help Center.
