You can’t delete your account yourself except an admin decides to do it for you.

But since you have just a few posts on your account, you can just delete those posts or edit them to “delete” after that change your email address to a random email that does not exist and do the same thing to your password by just inputting random password without saving it, that way you won’t be able to access your account again and that should serve the same function as “deleting the account” since you don’t want to access the forum/account again.

You can not delete your account.

It's not possible. Just abandon it.

You can't as others have pointed out.

Maybe the best you can do is change your email address, then after that you'll receive a link to lock the account.

Or you send message to the admin that you wanted your account to be deleted. But not sure if they will respond to that request.

As far as I know, there is no option to delete an already created account. If you no longer wish to have an account, simply log out and don't come back. I think that's enough and the forum won't lose if you suddenly disappear. So no need to worry about anything. Finished

This question is repeatedly asked many times.

Lock your topic because you will not get any different answer.

Let's do 3 steps if you want noone to access your account in future.
- Change your account email to a random email.
- Change your account password to a random and very strong password, can not crack.
- Log out your account. You will lose it forever and noone can log in it.

Wait --there is one more important before OP will vanish his account.
-Delete all your posts that can be found on your post history.

It's not necessary to do.

If you have secret and don't want anyone to know, don't publish it on Internet.

A Bitcointalk member only can delete posts but can not delete a thread, opening post of a thread. Even posts if deleted by OP will still be stored by some scrapers.

My bad, I forgot Ninjastic.space.
We must give thanks to those scrapers that can able to trace deleted or edited posts or threads.

Seems not a bad idea, but the deleting of posts is probably unnecessary as scrapers will simply make it easier to access them. If OP creates a throwaway email and password which he can’t remember, he should also create a thread on the reputation board with the idea that he wouldn’t be using the account again and possible many members will tag it, just in case someone else gets access to it they won’t be able to use it for any transaction on the forum again because of the tag should the Mods fail to delete it. This will be similar to how people that do not wish to take loan on the Forum have done. This prevents a scammer using it in future.

OP of a topic can not delete his topic or thread, but not in all cases, if the OP made it self-moderated, he will be able to delete the topics. But OP threads are not self-moderated and he can not delete it. But some people can edit the topic to dot or del in a way it would be like the topic is deleted but not the whole thread.

[hd49728]

He can actually delete a thread created by himself but like you said the Scrapers we have can simply make one have access to almost everything posted on the account even after they got deleted.

He actually can not delete his threads.

He only can delete his threads if he is a forum moderator but he is not.

He only can edit opening posts of his threads, delete all words, change the title and lock those threads or move them to Archival. It is not thread deletion by the way.

[Ryker1]

The only chance that OP deleted his account on this forum is to ask the moderators or staff.
I saw right now on ^{[ https://bpip.org ]} that there are 16,117 deleted profiles which perhaps which be granted when staff agreed.

<…>

Back in the day, there may have been more leniency to delete an account here and there, and some likely DB error/locks may have caused UserId to be skipped:

<…> In the forum's first couple of years, accounts would sometimes be deleted. Also, in rare cases an ID can be skipped (eg. if a database transaction gets rolled back).

In April 2022, the number of deleted profiles (deleted or skipped IDs really) was 16.117, meaning the number of cases has not increased in a year and a half.

Further back, in November 2018, I made the figure to be roughly the same (16K), so there really are no account deletions taking place nowadays.

Thank you for explaining it very well --I did not know about this.
Therefore --there is no way of an account deletion nowadays, I thought that 16k accounts deleted profile was made until now by staff.
@OP, there is no point in deleting your account but instead --pay attention to those instructions/suggestions above.
You may lock your thread when you come back, though you cannot delete your thread but still you can edit it and leave it blank before leaving the forum.

There is no button to delete your account the only one who has that privilege is the administrator, just abandon your account, there are so many accounts that were abandoned here, maybe you have a change of mind and eventually come back, based on your number of posts, you have nothing to left here only 4 posts with no merits.
Maybe one-day Theymos will do a clean-up on this forum and he will delete abandoned newbies first.

You can not delete your account, you can only edit your post but if you still want to delete your post here on the forum but it will still appear in ninjastic.space, but why did you want to delete your account?

[hugeblack]

Please delete my account, the button doesn't want to work.

If the reason for deleting your account is something related to your privacy then send a message to @Theymos, and if your reason is sufficient, your account will be deleted (all posts will be deleted and the topics you created will turn anonymous)

Note that there are known and unknown services that scrape data from the forum, so consider that anything you post after clicking on post button is recorded and cannot be deleted.

[Apocollapse]

There's no reason to delete an account, there's a loophole that can be used for criminal to take advantage over it. Similar like Bitcoin address can't be deleted, there's no point to delete it.

He can contact the scrapers to delete the post because I remember they did remove someone who post their private key.

Ninjastic is an independent scrapper just like Loycev.club, what they basically do is they take information and data here from Bitcointalk, moderators don't operate them and they officially have nothing to do with the forum post but God forbid, if the forum is lost or hacked today, they can still serve as a backup to get things back quickly because they contain almost every line of post that are posted here on this forum since their launch. But who knows if the global moderator also has its independent scrapper?

I think OP made a mistake with his username and is looking for a way to change it and that's why he is looking for a way to delete it and create another one, there is nothing logical for a user who has fewer than 5 posts to delete his account unless if the user fears about his email which he can just change or just forget about the account.
