  • The organization keeps its VU, and your leaving triggers no refund.

This deactivates your account. Within the recovery period (shown in days in the confirmation dialog, currently 30 days) you can sign in again to restore it. After the period ends, personal information is erased and the account cannot be restored.

The admin of an organization that still has other members cannot delete their account. If the dialog shows "Remove all other members before deleting your account.", remove the members first.

  2. Step 1 : Type your account email in the field of the confirmation dialog, review the notice below it (recovery period and VU handling), and click Next.
  3. Step 2 : Choose your reasons for leaving (multiple answers allowed). If you choose Other, you must type a reason.
  4. Click Delete account. "Your account has been deleted." is shown and you are taken to the sign-in screen.
