How do you delete an Account?

Hello TexanMan05!

 Discussions can't be deleted. Just stop using it.

Your account will simply go dormant and eventually be archived. There really is no way to delete it absolutely.

Hello Again TexanMan05!

Go to My Info.
Log in to whichever of your Apple IDs, you wish to remove the info from.
From the 6 selections, try to remove or change whatever info you wish.
Most of the text fields cannot be left blank though.

After you quit using the account, it's posts will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.

The Topics that you started using the account, will show your Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.

If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:

Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: The Alias Of The Account

all of the posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.

You can change your name by simply opening a new account, choosing a new user name and filling in all the information, using the email account you want.

Texan,

"Is there a way to change your user name."
If you mean the Alias, no.

In which account, did you try to change the Email Address?
You should be able to use the same Email Address, in both accounts, I think.

Texan,

You can't get rid of it.

As Miriam posted, just create a new Apple ID.

To create a new account,

Log out of Discussions. Delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences. Then follow either of these instructions.

-How Do I Create My Account?
If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.

-To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.

Those instructions, and more info, can also be viewed by clicking on ? Help & Terms of Use, in the right column of Discussions pages.

Texan,

As I previously posted, you cannot change an Alias on an account.
The only way to get a different Alias is to create a new Apple ID.

And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in  Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!
