Delete a community member
How can a member (auto)remove himself/herself from Microsoft Tech Community?
Is there a delete/remove option in the user profile? Where?

Hey Salvatore,
Deleting a user from the tech community is not as straight forward as it seems due to wanting to keep content and threads accurate without broken links, etc. The best way to do this is to reach out to our community admins (myself included).
Basically, we have a few options we can take here, from banning a user (blocks them until unbanned) to just changing their account name and removing their email address so they show as 'Deleted Member35'.
The last way we have is to change the users SSO ID which also operates as a ban.
- ChrisForjahnCopper ContributorI accidentally created two accounts (with personal and business account). Could you please deactivate this one? I will keep my business account. This user has not written any posts yet.
- Deleted_UserCopper ContributorI accidentally created two accounts, can they be merged, or can you please delete one of them for me?

Hope the site asks couple of times "Are you sure?"...
