How to delete my droplets and deactivate my account?

Posted on January 26, 2015

I would like to delete my droplets and deactivate my account. By the way, I got the email which informed me “Currently your account has an outstanding balance of $10.19.”. Do i still have to pay for that if i want to deactivate my account?

Please answer ASAP

Thank you

You can delete your droplets from the control panel. For each one, click on the droplet then the destroy tab and then the destroy button. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to delete the droplet. Once that is complete you will need to resolve any outstanding balance and you will then be able to use the “Deactivate Account” link on your account settings page.
