    Hi @overkill unfortunately you can’t delete your own account, even as a moderator I can’t do it either, but I will report it to DCUK Head Office if you’re sure that’s what you want.

    Hi @overkill I'm sorry you've had to deal with this issue, it would be very frustrating. I have raised it with our tech team and will get this sorted as soon as possible. My apologies again

    Yes, that would be great. Thanks for your help!

    As someone with diabetes, I am aware that my data is worth a lot to some people (e.g advertisers), and I want to minimize the risk of my data being sold or leaked by accident. And as I no longer participate in this community, I think deleting my account would be the best solution.

    I didn't expect this to be so hard. It might have been easier to just file a GDPR right to erasure request…
