The same with me. Hopefully this answers the above 2 questions too.JennBNYC wrote:I was seriously just trying to figure that out this morning....TOMaHULK wrote:I can't seem to find that option, nor to find the answer in FAQ's, or anywhere else on that site.

I just ended up deleting all the info from my profile, but I kind of want it permanently gone as well. I don't like having random accounts floating around in cyberspace.

How would your original numbers NOT affect the stats if you delete them? The stats are generated by the info in the database, if you pull it out (by deleting) then you are affecting the stats. If you want to preserve the stats, then you just orphan the account like I said, leaving the stats/your numbers in the database. Just edit out your personal info.TOMaHULK wrote:
I just want one account, and I don't want the numbers from my original account to effect the true stats, etc. If anyone know how to delete, please let me know.
If you deleted the info, then it is "permanently gone". If you are referring the actually account, then go and change the password to a random string, and change the email to a random email you don't own like a@b.com (that's what I use lol). Then it will not belong to you anymore.JennBNYC wrote: I was seriously just trying to figure that out this morning....

I deleted all the info about my LSAT score(s), GPA and the schools I'm applying to, but my email, PW, and username still exist. I suppose I could change the email and PW, but the UN will still be there :-/.r6_philly wrote:If you deleted the info, then it is "permanently gone".

This is the same reason TLS accounts cannot simply be deleted.r6_philly wrote:Deleting is really hard, most programmers don't allow delete features because it has deep implications than just deleting your account. If an account is actually deleted, the programmer has to account for the messages and comments that the account owner published, as well as the comments and messages that were posted to the account. You don't really want orphan records in database tables, so most of the time we just mark the account as defunct but leave everything in tact. Deleting accounts usually end up generating some unforeseen errors and 10 times the work.
Ahhhhhh, can you tell I'm not a programmer?r6_philly wrote:Deleting is really hard, most programmers don't allow delete features because it has deep implications than just deleting your account.
