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?

Just updating this thread, having listened to the feedback from the community we have decided to make it so users can close their own accounts. If you want to close your own account you can do so here.

Sep 08, 2016Hey 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.

I 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.
