How to remove your Stackoverflow account

In order to delete your StackOverflow account, go to https://stackoverflow.com/help/user-removal and follow the instructions mentioned in the post.

If your account doesn’t have any posts and you didn’t vote, you’ll probably see a delete link in your profile.

Helpful Trick: Removing online data

Publicly visible text/images often aren’t properly removed even when you succeed in removing an account. Try editing or removing them manually before removing the account itself. If you’re unsure what happens to your tracks: this can be found mostly in the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy; otherwise you can always contact Stackoverflow and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
