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.

Si el espacio de nombres de la cuenta incluye paquetes o imágenes de contenedor almacenadas en un registro de GitHub Packages, GitHub elimina los paquetes y las imágenes de contenedor cuando eliminas la cuenta. Al eliminar la cuenta, podrías interrumpir los proyectos que dependen de estos paquetes e imágenes.

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.
