Yes, but only if you are an Apple iPhone user. The Tumblr mobile app for iOS allows you to go to Account > Settings > General Settings > Delete account.

If you are an Android user, you are currently out of luck. You must delete your Tumblr account on a computer as the Android Tumblr app does not support the account deletion function.

FAQs

Yes — however, this is the same thing as deleting your Tumblr account. Deleting your primary Tumblr blog wipes your entire account.

After your account or blog has been deleted on Tumblr, it cannot be restored.

In general, no. We logged into our Tumblr account, which we hadn’t used in over five years, and the account name and content were still intact. However, there are reports that, after a year, some people receive a message from Tumblr saying that their username will be released for others to use.

When a Tumblr account is deleted, it is wiped from the system permanently. That means all blogs, blog posts, messages, and activities are erased. The username may become available for others to use, and the content will not be recoverable.
