The FarmersOnly FAQ has a section on deleting your page completely, and it is a different thing from hiding it. Deleting takes you off the site for good. If you paid by card directly on FarmersOnly, deleting also cancels the subscription, so you are not charged again. If you paid through Google Play, you still have to cancel in the Google Play Store yourself.
Deleting is not hiding
Men often mix these up, and the difference matters.
Hiding your profile takes you out of search results and logs you out. It does not remove anything. The next time you log in, the profile shows again, and anyone searching can find you.
Deleting removes the profile. After removal, your information is no longer accessible on the site, and no one can see anything about you. If you want to be gone, delete. If you only want a break, hide.
What happens to your payments
How you paid decides what you have to do.
If you paid by card directly on FarmersOnly, removing your profile automatically cancels the subscription. You do not need a second step, and you will not be billed again.
If you paid through Google Play, the subscription lives in the Google Play Store, not on FarmersOnly. Removing your profile does not stop it. Open the Play Store, find the subscription, and cancel it there, whether or not you have deleted anything on the site. Do this on the same day you delete, so a charge does not arrive a month later for an account that no longer exists.
If you are a paid member
A paid member who removes his profile before the paid time ends has to confirm that he agrees to forfeit the time that is left.
That is worth a moment of thought before you click. If you have a few weeks remaining, you could hide the profile instead and let the time run out, or use those weeks properly (more on that below). If you are done and want it over, confirm the forfeit and move on. A few weeks of a membership you were not using is not worth keeping an account you dislike.
Can a deleted account come back?
In some cases, FarmersOnly can restore a removed profile. This is most likely soon after deletion, because the restore comes from its archives.
Treat that as a safety net, not a plan. It is not promised, and it depends on how long ago you removed the profile. If you are deleting because you are annoyed on a bad week, wait a few days first. If you are certain, go ahead, and do not count on getting it back.
Before you delete
Ask what you are actually leaving.
Some men leave FarmersOnly because it does not work, and that is a fair reason. A site built around one community depends on how many active women live within driving distance of you. If the area is thin, the site will not fix that, and staying on it costs money and attention.
Others leave because they sent a lot of flirts and heard nothing back. That is worth looking at honestly. A flirt is a light signal, and a page with one blurry photo and a one-line description gives a woman nothing to answer. If that sounds like your page, the problem may follow you to the next dating app.
a dating coach's attitude to anything that is not working is simple: move on and put your effort where women are responding. He treats dating as a funnel, and you keep it full by trying other places, not by sitting in one that has gone quiet.
Better messages next time
Once the account is gone, pick one place to put the time instead.
Choose one app that suits your area, build one page that tells a woman something real, and send short, specific messages to the women you would actually want to meet. Mention something from her page, ask one easy question, and stop. Then suggest a coffee after a few good exchanges instead of writing for weeks.
If you have been on a site for months with nothing to show, a clean restart on a better fit beats a long stay on a bad one. Deleting is not failing. It is a decision to spend your evenings where they pay you back.
The short version
Use the deleting section of the FarmersOnly FAQ to remove your page completely. Hiding only logs you out and takes you out of search. Card subscriptions bought on FarmersOnly are cancelled by the removal, Google Play subscriptions are not, and paid members confirm they give up the remaining time. Restoring is sometimes possible soon after, so do not rely on it.
