Keep in mind
Accounts must have a zero balance to be closed. If you have a balance that's too small to cover any fees associated with selling the crypto (this is known as dust or a dust balance), you can:
Send the balance to a different Coinbase user's email.
Forfeit the funds and allow Coinbase to zero out any remaining balances, which can be done by contacting us.
If you have a web3 wallet, transfer all of your assets to an external wallet first to avoid permanently losing access to those assets.
Coinbase can’t recover these assets after your account is closed and is not responsible for any losses arising out of your failure to transfer your assets to an external wallet.
You can request to delete an unverified account by contacting us.
