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.

如果帐户命名空间包含的公共存储库包含 GitHub Marketplace 上列出的操作，或这些公共存储库在删除前一周内超过 100 次克隆或超过 100 次使用 GitHub Actions，则在删除帐户时，GitHub 将永久停用所有者名称和存储库名称组合 (OWNER/REPOSITORY-NAME)。

如果帐户命名空间包含存储在 GitHub Packages 注册表中的任何包或容器映像，则在你删除帐户时，GitHub 会删除包和容器映像。 删除帐户后，可能会中断依赖于这些包和映像的项目。

如果帐户命名空间包含下载量超过 5,000 次的任何公共容器映像，则在你删除帐户时，这些容器映像的全名 (NAMESPACE/IMAGE-NAME) 将永久停用，以确保将来不能重复使用该容器映像名称。

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.
