Log into your 23andMe account on their website.
Go to the "Settings" section of your profile.
Scroll to a section labeled "23andMe Data" at the bottom of the page.
Click "View" next to "23andMe Data"
Download your data: If you want a copy of your genetic data for personal storage, choose the option to download it to your device before proceeding.
Scroll to the "Delete Data" section.
Click "Permanently Delete Data."
Confirm your request: You'll receive an email from 23andMe; follow the link in the email to confirm your deletion request.
Bonta also provided this advice for destroying your test sample and revoking permission for genetic data to be used for research:
If you previously opted to have your saliva sample and DNA stored by 23andMe, but want to change that preference, you can do so from your account settings page, under "Preferences."
If you previously consented to 23andMe and third-party researchers to use your genetic data and sample for research, you may withdraw consent from the account settings page, under "Research and Product Consents."
