I have deactivated my account but want it cmpletely removed

[FabIsDoingPrettyWell]

How do I go about getting this done please?

You can't. Change all info to incorrect info then leg it!

Shit.

I may be able to assist you in hiding it though - do you want me to CAT you? If you can give me your username and password I'll make it bugger orf.

But first try this

If I log in it will just reactivate my account.

Yes but if you log in, then click the above link - it will permanently delete your account.

Sorry, I am being thick. I log in as normal then click back on to your link and get the log in page again?

Yes because your account has been deleted. You should attempt to log in and find no such account if it's worked.

Apparently I'm wrong you need to do this and then NOT log back in afterwards

Bloody stupid way of doing things if you ask me. Personally I'd just change my name to Jane Doe and put bogus data in there. Just in case there is legacy data. Overwritten stuff doesn't normally get refound the way deleted stuff can be.

Thanks

I managed to reactivate it but then have deleted it all. It takes 2 weeks to disappear and I just hope I haven't left it too late.

Thanks for your help .

Good luck. Now whatever you did to embarrass yourself - try not to do it again

If you need any tips of disappearing electronically, do ask. I've done it a few times. Tis quite fun actually!

Dumb question alert...

I deactivated my acount a couple of years ago, I assumed that meant that I couldnt be viewed if searched for etc, is that correct?

WMMC - I need deleting for something much more serious than doing something silly so I really do appreciate you showing me how to do it.

Have sent you a CAT message.

Sorry to hijack but could you send me the CAT message too?
