97. I was able to close my account without a PDF.

Feb 2022

All I did was send a message to Spotify support, requesting account deletion. I deleted all my playlists. I answered a few questions that Spotify support posed to me. Spotify sent me a link to close the account.

The account is now closed per the Spotify website:

All done!
