Title: Can't delete my profile
Post by: MikeTront on October 24, 2019, 06:40:56 PM
I'm trying to delete my profile, but there's no option to do it on my profile page at all!

Can someone please help me with this?

There is no such option. Just change your email and password to a random one and move on.

Or you can ask theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35) to do that for you, but I have never seen him doing that for anyone.

Would be cool to see a 'whipe account' feature at some point. On the other hand, it wouldn't really matter since there are plenty of archives/archived pages.

I'm sorry to tell, but you stuck here forever.

There should very strong reason to ask deletion of account. OP also can ask to change to change his username to "Anonymous":
As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.
But I haven't saw theymos doing it for years.

Now you gave me an idea that the OP might not be the real user here and he is trying to delete someone's account as a revenge or blackmail to the person but this is a big reach since the account literally has no value in Bitcointalk. I don't know but someone waking up a year ago and then his first post will be asking how to delete his account is somehow suspicious, I really don't see any purpose on doing so especially if you became inactive for a year.

If you really care, you can delete all of your posts (unless you've made any in the Auction section), and set all your profile information to garbage - e.g. changing your email address to random@invalid.email. But deleting your account isn't something you can do yourself, and requests to admins to do so are rarely ever granted. There's not really any need for it considering you can effectively zero out all the important information your account holds.

Deleting social media profile is almost impossible, as the internet saves anything that is uploaded in. And the forum is no different. Your account can be made anonymous as stated above and no one would be able to access it. Posts and replies would still remain however in order to make discussions you've engaged in be readable. Deleting all traces from the internet is not possible.

Uhm, it cause me a confusion, like what profile, specifically? Is it a profile like how to delete your picture on your profile or your account itself?.

If the case is just deleting your avatar well you just find it on your profile then change avatar,  upload picture and thats it.

And if the case is deleting your account you cant just delete your account on a glimpse of an eye, or a swipe of your finger, unless you did some inaapropriate doings in the forum, violating the rules and regulation. It will or can ban you thats when the account would be deleted or just be gone.

Why do you want to delete your profile? Many people who want to keep their accounts alive, keep following the bounty and make some altcoin and dollars in this forum. But if you really want to delete your profile or account, contact the moderator and reveal your reasons for deleting it. in the profile option there is no account deletion feature available.

I was surprised by the OP why he insisted on deleting their profile, I thought it would be good to take care of this account well and keep on constructing posts that would gradually increase in rank too, is there a name error so you want to delete it, I hope you answer the question this.
