How to cancel your Roku account

Roku is an incredibly popular streaming platform, but it isn't perfect. Whether you have had enough and are ready to leave, or want to start a new account from scratch, Roku makes it easy to say goodbye. You should still be careful to not miss any steps in the process of canceling your Roku account.
