If you have subscriptions like iCloud+, have an unpaid balance, or you use purchase sharing, you must keep at least one payment method on file.
- Do you have a subscription? You can cancel iCloud+ and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. When your subscription period is over, remove your payment method.
- If you're in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing, the family organizer must have a payment method on file. If you're the family organizer, turn off purchase sharing, then remove the payment method.
- If you have an unpaid balance, you might not be able to remove a payment method. Instead, change your payment method.
- If you still can't remove a payment method, contact Apple Support.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Payment & Shipping.
- Tap Edit, tap the red Delete button, then tap Remove.
- Open the App Store.
- Click your name or the Sign In button.
- Click Account Settings.
- Next to Payment Information, click Manage Payments.
- Click Edit, then click Remove Payment Method.
- On your Windows PC, open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app. Learn how to get Apple's apps for Windows.
- Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose View My Account. You might need to sign in with your Apple ID first.
- Next to Payment Information, click Manage Payments.
- Click Edit, then click Remove Payment Method.
- If your Windows PC isn't compatible with the Apple Music app or Apple TV app, open iTunes.
- In the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Account, then choose View My Account.
- Choose Manage Payments.
- Choose Edit.
- Click Remove Payment Method.
You can also remove a payment method after signing in to appleid.apple.com.
In some cases, you might need to add a new payment method using appleid.apple.com in order to remove the existing payment method.
Unless you see a NONE option in the payment methods of your account details, all accounts must have a valid payment method.
You cannot remove a payment method without replacing it with another valid payment method, regardless of whether you do or don't have a subscription.
