Hi,
I know this is an old post but still thought I would share an alternative way to delete an AGOL public account. As @BenCoubrough mentioned, you can send an email to accounts@esri.com and request to delete your account. However, your username will not become available to use for another account.
In order to fully delete your public account you can follow the steps below:
- Delete all your content and groups from your public account.
- Use your existing organizational account (or create a trial organizational account) to invite yourself as a member. In order to do this, you should have proper privileges. Make sure to choose the option to let users join with their existing public account.
- Once you accepted the invitation and joined the org, you basically converted your public account into an organizational account (temporarily)!
- Now log in with your original organizational account (with admin privileges), disable Esri access for the new member you added in step 2 and delete the member. By doing this, not only the member is removed from the organization but also the account is completely removed from AGOL and the username is available to use again.
- Notice that if Esri Access is enabled, deleting user from the org only converts it back to a public account.
Best,
MJ
