BBC iPlayer 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 BBC iPlayer’s main user database will be removed. However, BBC iPlayer may retain some of your personal data for certain legal, security, and other needs.
The procedure for deleting your BBC iPlayer is slightly different depending on the method you choose. You can cancel your BBC iPlayer from the account settings, or by sending a request that your profile should be deleted to BBC iPlayer Help Center.
