Good Morning,

Can somebody walk me through the steps of how to delete my profile?

Thank you,

Go to Settings, go to My Settings, go to Edit Profile. Edit away.

So, is there a way to actually delete the account and profile? All you can do is edit, but can't delete it.

As a forum member the answer is no. Only an Admin can delete or modify a member's account.


And just to point out, I don't know of any setting in the Admin Panel for ANY version of vBulletin discussion forum software, (that's what this forum is a vBulletin powered forum), where you can switch the setting for a forum member to delete their own account.

This could be for legal reasons and also at a minimum, continuity reasons.

Can you imagine if a forum member with 40,000+ threads and posts just got out of bed one day and decided to DELETE their account? I would make a MESS of every discussion they were ever a part of not to mention remove any thread they started.


I'm not exactly sure what if any protocol we here at Autogeek have for a request to delete an account but seeing that you only have a single post, that is the reply to this thread, I don't see a problem to delete your account.


Shoot me an e-mail requesting your account to be deleted and I'll get management's decision on the path to follow.
