LINE is one of the most popular messaging apps in Taiwan, and many people are already accustomed to making payments via LINE Pay . However, if you no longer plan to use your current account, be sure to make sure you have deleted all payment data. Otherwise, even if you delete your account or reset your phone, related payment information may still be retained, posing a potential risk to your personal data. So how do you completely delete all LINE Pay payment data? Let us tell you!
Why are my LINE Pay payment records still there even after I deleted LINE?
This situation is closer to a design flaw than a system bug. LINE Pay’s credit card and transaction data are stored on cloud servers, not just on your phone. So even if you restore your phone to factory settings, it only erases the data on your device; the transaction information in your account remains. If you re-register with the same phone number or account, the system may be able to retrieve the original data.
How to safely delete LINE Pay?
To safely delete all data in LINE Pay, you can follow these steps:
▲ Open the LINE Pay App, then tap the “Settings gear” icon in the upper right corner, and then tap “Cancel”.
▲First, check if your account has any balance, stored value, transferred funds, or top-up funds. If none are present, click “Cancel” at the bottom to delete all cards, transaction records, coupons, e-invoices, and membership card information.
Before deleting your LINE account or LINE Pay app, remember that deleting the account or app does not mean deleting all data. You must follow the official deletion steps to successfully and safely delete all important personal data. This is extremely important!
