How to Delete GB WhatsApp Pro Account in Simple Steps

Over the past five years of writing about Android customization, modified apps, and privacy tools, I’ve noticed one question that keeps coming back again and again: “How do I completely delete my GB WhatsApp Pro account?” Whether you’re switching back to the official WhatsApp, worried about a potential ban, or simply want a clean slate, permanently removing your account from GB WhatsApp Pro is not as straightforward as it is on the original app.

Don’t worry – I’ve done this dozens of times for myself and helped hundreds of readers through detailed guides, and today I’m going to walk you through every single step in the simplest way possible.

What Exactly Happens When You “Delete” a GB WhatsApp Pro Account?

Before we jump into the steps, it’s important to understand what “deleting the account” really means in the world of modified apps:

• GB WhatsApp Pro does NOT have its own servers. Your account is still registered on WhatsApp’s official servers.
• When you delete your account through GB WhatsApp Pro, you are essentially telling WhatsApp’s official servers: “This phone number should no longer have a WhatsApp account.”
• The action is permanent and irreversible after 30–90 days (same as official WhatsApp).
• All your message history on WhatsApp servers gets wiped.
• You disappear from everyone’s contact list.
• All groups you created will lose you as admin (someone else automatically becomes admin).
• Your backups on Google Drive (if linked) will eventually become unusable.

In short: deleting your GB WhatsApp Pro account has the exact same consequences as deleting an official WhatsApp account. There is no “GB-only” account to delete separately.

Why People Want to Delete Their GB WhatsApp Pro Account in 2025

From my experience, readers usually fall into one of these categories:

1. Fear of permanent ban (WhatsApp has become stricter with modified apps in 2024–2025)
2. Switching to official WhatsApp or another mod (like FMWhatsApp, YoWhatsApp, etc.)
3. Selling or giving away the phone
4. Starting fresh with the same number
5. Privacy concerns after a breakup or job change

Whatever your reason is – the process is the same.

Preparation: 3 Things You MUST Do Before Deleting

I cannot stress this enough: 90% of the regret emails I receive are from people who skipped this part.

Step 1 – Take a Local Backup

Even if you never want to see these chats again, keep a local backup. It costs nothing and has saved countless readers.

1. Open GB WhatsApp Pro
2. Go to Settings → Chats → Chat backup
3. Tap “Back up” (this creates a backup on your internal storage, NOT Google Drive)
4. Note the exact name of the backup file (usually something like msgstore.db.crypt14)

Step 2 – Export Important Chats Manually

For really important conversations:

• Open the chat → Tap the three-dot menu → More → Export chat
• Choose “Without media” (faster) or “With media” (can be several GBs)
• Save it to your phone or email it to yourself

Step 3 – Tell Your Close Contacts

Once you delete the account, you disappear completely. Send a quick message to family and close friends:

“Hey, I’m deleting my WhatsApp account today. Save my number if you want to reach me later on Telegram/Signal/regular SMS.”

Now you’re ready.

Method 1: Delete Account Directly from GB WhatsApp Pro (Recommended)

This is the cleanest and fastest way in 2025 versions.

1. Open GB WhatsApp Pro on your phone
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
3. Go to Settings (some versions call it GB Settings)
4. Scroll down and tap “Account”
5. Tap “Delete my account”
6. You’ll see a warning: “Deleting your account will: delete your message history, remove you from all groups, delete your backups”
7. Enter your full phone number in international format (e.g., +919876543210)
8. Tap “Delete my account” (usually red button)
9. Confirm again when prompted
10. Wait 10–30 seconds – you’ll be logged out automatically

That’s it. Your account is now scheduled for permanent deletion on WhatsApp servers.

Method 2: Using the Official WhatsApp App (Nuclear Option)

Some newer versions of GB WhatsApp Pro (v18.90+) have removed the “Delete account” option to avoid detection. If you don’t see it, follow this method:

1. Download the official WhatsApp from Play Store (don’t open it yet)
2. Go to phone Settings → Apps → GB WhatsApp Pro → Storage → Clear data
3. Open official WhatsApp
4. Verify with the same number (you’ll receive SMS code)
5. Once inside official WhatsApp, go to Settings → Account → Delete my account
6. Follow the same steps as above

This method guarantees 100% deletion because you’re using WhatsApp’s own servers directly.

How to Completely Remove GB WhatsApp Pro After Deleting the Account

Just deleting the account is not enough if you want zero traces.

Step 1 – Uninstall GB WhatsApp Pro

Long-press the app icon → Uninstall (or go to Settings → Apps → Uninstall)

Step 2 – Delete Residual Folders

GB WhatsApp Pro creates its own folders that official WhatsApp won’t touch.

Using any file manager:

• Delete the entire folder: /Internal storage/GBWhatsApp
• Delete the entire folder: /Internal storage/Android/media/com.gbwhatsapp (yes, even the media folder)
• Also delete: /Internal storage/WhatsApp (old backups sometimes hide here)

Step 3 – Clear Cache & Data of Official WhatsApp (If Installed)

Settings → Apps → WhatsApp → Storage → Clear cache & Clear data

Step 4 – Restart Your Phone

This clears any remaining background processes.

What Happens in the Next 90 Days After Deletion?

Day 0–7: Your account is deactivated but technically recoverable Day 7–30: Most data is wiped from WhatsApp servers Day 30–90: Final purge – account completely gone forever After day 90: Even WhatsApp support cannot recover it
