If you are in charge of someone’s digital estate, you may be in the position of deleting and managing their accounts after they pass.

There’s no easy way to delete a Crunchyroll (or other online account) without your loved one’s login information. If you don’t have any access to the necessary login information, you’ll need to contact the support team.
When you contact customer support, someone at Crunchyroll will have to delete their account for you. So you’ll need to reach out to the support team. Try to include as much information as you can when you reach out.
