Delete account

[JamieLockovich]

I am trying to delete my account so my district can create one for me. I only recently created it and I have no classes. It's literally an empty account. How can I delete it?

Hi there @JamieLockovich ,

Thank you for asking on the Instructure Community!

You are not able to delete your own account, as this requires account admin permissions. Since it sounds like your school pays for their own canvas environment, it would be best to reach out to your school's canvas admin for assistance in deleting your account.

All the best,
Noah

This is an account I created on my own. It is not through the school. They can't delete it for me.

Hi @JamieLockovich ,

It sounds like you're using free for teacher. Free for Teacher is not associated with any school, so if you're district is trying to create an account for you under their own Canvas environment (domain), they shouldn't have any issues doing so since they're two completely different servers.

Since you're using free for teacher, I can forward your request for an account deletion to the team that manages FFT accounts, if you'd like.

Yes, it's a free for teacher account. That would be great! Thank you!

You're welcome! I will forward this to the team now. Your patience is greatly appreciated!
