While Grammarly remains one of the leading online writing assistants and works great for people who’re either in school, college or are starting their career in writing, it’s not as great for advanced users and more often than not might end up bugging you with unnecessary corrections that aren’t required in the context of your entire piece.

If you’ve been using Grammarly but its features aren’t working for you anymore, you can always give a chance to its Premium subscription, which brings a lot more to the table. But if even that doesn’t work for you either, deleting your Grammarly account to cut down on unnecessary digital junk from your life is the best bet.

If you’re a Premium subscriber, check out this article to cancel your Premium subscription first, and then come back here to complete deleting your Grammarly account in a few easy steps.
