Want to delete my account - no option available in General setting

I want to delete my account and everything, doc anfd files related BUT unlike what it is said in help center there NO "delete account" option in General settings. Please procede ASAP !!

 

I'm furious I cannot simply delete in a click. This is my right as a user so I would appreciate this to be done right away.

    The option to delete your account should be found at the bottom of your Account page. If you're a member of a team then you won't be able to delete your account. You would need to contact the team admin in that case.

      Hi there !


      Thanks for your reply.

       

      There is no delete button at the bottom of my account page (Account > general settings), nor am I part of team, or if so, I'm the admin because I create my account long time ago and shared it with two other people.

       

      Any solution ?

        Oooook! Now I get it!!

        I was indeed part of a team I created myself ! This is why.

         

        Your intel on the team thing helped me, gosh!

        I deleted the team, which automatically kicked me out, and then the button delete account appeared! Woohoo !

         

        Thanks!
