How to Close my client account, without closing the freelancer account

Hi Chandirasekaran,

To close your client account without closing the freelancer account, you will need to switch to your client account first. Once you are on the client account, go to the Settings page and click 'Close account' at the bottom of the page. Please note that you will need to close all active jobs and contracts before you proceed with account closing.

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hello! 

Please close my client account without affecting my freelancer account. I am an active freelancer on UpWork and want to stay a freelancer.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. To close your client account on Upwork while keeping your freelancer account active, you need to follow these steps:

1. Login to Upwork: Visit the Upwork website and log in with the credentials associated with the client account you wish to close.

2. Switch to Freelancer Account: Once logged in, click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner of the page. From the drop-down menu, select "Settings."

3. Access Contact Info: In the Settings page, click on "Contact Info" from the left-hand sidebar.

4. Switch to Freelancer Profile: Look for the option that says "Switch to Freelancer Profile" and click on it. This will switch your account from the client view to the freelancer view.

5. Confirm Account Switch: Upwork will prompt you to confirm the account switch. Follow the prompts and confirm the change to your freelancer account.

6. Close the Client Account: Now that you are in your freelancer account, go back to the "Settings" page by clicking on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner and selecting "Settings" again.

7. Navigate to Account Settings: In the Settings page, click on "Account" from the left-hand sidebar.

8. Close Account: Scroll down until you find the "Close Account" section. Click on the "Close Account" link.

9. Select Reason: Upwork will ask you to provide a reason for closing your client account. Choose the appropriate reason from the options provided or provide additional details if required.

10. Confirm Closure: After providing the reason, Upwork will ask you to confirm the closure of your client account. Follow the prompts and confirm the closure.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully close your client account on Upwork without affecting your freelancer account.

If you encounter any issues during the process or have any further questions, I recommend reaching out to Upwork's customer support for assistance. They will be able to provide additional guidance and address any concerns you may have.

Thank you, and best of luck with your freelancing endeavors!
