Both cards are under **Settings**. Open the account menu (your name at the top right) and click **Settings**.

## Change your name

1. In the **Profile** card, type your **Name** (up to 100 characters).
2. Click **Save**.

You see "Name saved." Your name shows in the account menu, and emails from Metis Cloud greet you by your first name.

Your **Email** is shown below the name. Sign-in, receipts and alerts go to this address. You cannot change it in the console.

## Delete your account

Deleting your account removes your Metis Cloud console account. Your receipts stay with Dodo Payments.

### Delete every instance first

You cannot delete your account while you have any instance, including one that is still being deleted. The **Delete account** card then lists those instances and the **Delete account** button is disabled. Click **Go to instances** and delete each one from its **Settings** tab. See [Delete an instance](/cloud/your-instance/delete-an-instance).

Download an export first if you want to keep anything. See [Export your data](/cloud/your-instance/export-your-data).

### Delete the account

1. In the **Delete account** card, click **Delete account**.
2. The dialog **Delete your account?** opens. If your account has a password, type it in **Password**.
3. Click **Send confirmation link**. Nothing is deleted yet.
4. The card shows **Check your email**. Open the email with the subject "Confirm deleting your Metis Cloud account".
5. While you are signed in to the console, click **Delete my account** in the email.

Your account is deleted and you return to the sign-in page. This cannot be undone.

If you did not ask to delete your account and you get this email, ignore it and change your password. Nothing is deleted unless the link is opened while you are signed in.

If you signed up with Google or GitHub and the console says your session has expired, sign out, sign in again and repeat the steps.
