How to delete a user account?

[User65760]

Searched CC, scoured the posts, can't find anything. How do you delete a user account here?

Use the 'Contact Us' form, bottom right of the screen.

If you haven't been here long it might be easiest just to delete your posts, remove your profile details and avatar then just log out.

Done. Now what?

You can't. You can be anonymised, that's all.

So I can't delete my user account? I was told to click on the 'contact us' link to do so.

Why would this be 'easiest'? I just want to know how to delete a user account.
I see you have 2 likes for your comment but don't understand what it is you've said that constitutes such a response. I guess I must be missing something here.

There's only one that can actually delete the account. If he's not on it'll be a case of waiting for a response, it's not an instant process.

You will receive a reply soon.
Thank you for your patience.

I guessed you were asking the question because you wanted to remove yourself from the site, so I gave a straight answer. If I got likes it was because people were agreeing with my advice, that tends to be used here rather than a "Wot he said" response. There is nothing to be read into it.
