I request the deletion of my account, which I no longer have access to.

Delete old account. I sent it to email support@github.com and I was blocked.

Hi @Miranda3000-CPU! 👋

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your old account. I can imagine how frustrating it is to lose access to a profile and not be able to close it.

However, please note that I am an Open Source project maintainer, not a GitHub employee. I (and other users in this discussion) do not have administrative access to the GitHub platform or user databases. We cannot delete accounts.

Here is some guidance on how to proceed and why you might be facing hurdles:

1. Security & Verification

GitHub has very strict security policies. They cannot delete an account upon request unless the requester can prove beyond doubt that they own it. Usually, this requires:

• Access to the email address associated with the account.
• Access to 2FA methods (if enabled).
• Access to SSH keys associated with the account.

If you have lost access to the email and the password, and do not have SSH keys or recovery codes, GitHub Support generally will not delete the account. This is to prevent malicious actors from deleting other people's work by pretending to be them.

2. Regarding the "Blocked" Email

If you emailed support@github.com and received a message that you were blocked or the ticket was closed, it is often because:

• Direct email support is sometimes limited; they prefer you use the GitHub Support Portal.
• If you previously sent multiple requests without the required verification, their system might have flagged the requests.

3. Recommended Next Steps

Since we cannot help you here in the community discussions, please try the following:

1. Recover the Password: If you haven't already, attempt the Password Reset process one last time to see if you can regain access to the original email.
2. Use the Support Portal: Instead of emailing, submit a ticket via the GitHub Support Portal.
3. Accept the Status Quo: If you absolutely cannot prove ownership to GitHub Support's satisfaction, the old account will likely remain as an "orphaned" account. You can continue using your new account (Miranda3000-CPU) for all your future work.

Important: Please do not share sensitive personal information or ticket numbers in this public discussion, as everyone can see it.

I hope you are able to resolve this with the Support team! 🌟
