Delete profile in this forum

I have an old unused profile here (developer.salesforce.com), linked to an old company disable SF instance. I want to delete it so i can use my name in my current profile. Any suggestions?

Hi Andyux,

The Salesforce accounts once created can't be deleted, but you can deactivate. If you want to create a new account with the same username first change existing account username and use this username for a new account.

If you want to change the username in your DE account.Please follow the below steps.
1) Go to Setup | Administer | Manage Users | Users
2) Click "Edit" on your username.
3) Change your username to the new address, and click Save.

Now you can create a DE account with the old username.

Hope this helps you!
Best Regards,
Jyothsna
