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.

Si l’espace du noms de compte inclut des dépôts publics qui contiennent une action listée sur GitHub Marketplace ou qui comptabilisent plus de 100 clones ou plus de 100 utilisations de GitHub Actions au cours de la semaine précédant la suppression, GitHub met définitivement hors service la combinaison nom de propriétaire et nom de dépôt (OWNER/REPOSITORY-NAME) quand vous supprimez votre compte.

Si l’espace de noms du compte inclut des packages ou des images conteneur stockées dans un registre GitHub Packages, GitHub supprime les packages et les images conteneur lorsque vous supprimez votre compte. En supprimant votre compte, vous risquez de perturber des projets qui dépendent de ces packages et images.

Si l’espace de noms du compte inclut des images conteneur publiques avec plus de 5 000 téléchargements, le nom complet de ces images conteneur (NAMESPACE/IMAGE-NAME) est définitivement abandonné lorsque vous supprimez le compte pour garantir que le nom de l’image conteneur ne peut pas être réutilisé à l’avenir.

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.
