Deleting your personal account

About deletion of your personal account

Deleting your personal account removes all repositories, forks of private repositories, wikis, issues, pull requests, and pages owned by your account. Issues and pull requests you've created and comments you've made in repositories owned by other users will not be deleted. Your resources and comments will become associated with the ghost user.

Wenn der Kontonamespace öffentliche Repositorys enthält, die eine Aktion enthalten, die auf GitHub Marketplace aufgeführt ist oder die in der Woche vor dem Löschen mehr als 100 Klone oder mehr als 100 Verwendungen von GitHub Actions enthielten, setzt GitHub die Kombination aus Besitzername und Repositoryname (OWNER/REPOSITORY-NAME) beim Löschen deines Kontos dauerhaft aus.

Wenn der Kontonamespace Pakete oder Containerimages enthält, die in einer GitHub Packages-Registrierung gespeichert sind, löscht GitHub die Pakete und Containerimages, wenn du dein Konto löschst. Wenn du dein Konto löschst, unterbrichst du möglicherweise Projekte, die von diesen Paketen und Images abhängen.

Wenn der Kontonamespace öffentliche Containerimages mit mehr als 5.000 Downloads enthält, wird der vollständige Name dieser Containerimages (NAMESPACE/IMAGE-NAME) dauerhaft ausgemustert, wenn du das Konto löschst, um sicherzustellen, dass der Containerimagename in Zukunft nicht mehr verwendet werden kann.

When you delete your account we stop billing you. The email address associated with the account becomes available for use with a different account. After 90 days, the account name also becomes available to anyone else to use on a new account.

If you're the only owner of an organization, you must transfer ownership to another person or delete the organization before you can delete your personal account. If there are other owners in the organization, you must remove yourself from the organization before you can delete your personal account.
