CREATING AND DELETING ZOTERO ACCOUNTS

herasmonnersans
I am having trouble finding a way to delete zotero accounts I created in order to test whether I was on the right track doing the first steps. It seems I messed up and wanted to delete my accounts and re start all over. How do I do this?

    I am also interested in learning how to delete my Zotero account, library, and its contents.

    Due to system stability problems and web site incompatibility issues I continue to have with Firefox on my personal laptop (Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a G4 iBook) resulting in the removal of Firefox from said laptop, the Zotero library is of no more use to me.

    I would rather not have an open account and data stored on an organization's site servers if I can no longer add to, modify, or delete such content, as apparently is the case with the Zotero web site. Thus my desire to completely delete my account and the library it contains.

    Any ideas?

    mail to support@z.. .org should do.
    also, you could just empty your library - create an empty profile with your userdata on some firefox, than reset from computer. Second best solution, but still...

    I agree that a formal way to delete accounts would be nice.

    @adamsmith: Thanks for the ideas. I may just send the email off to the support folks, if for no other reason than to bring attention to the need to have some sort of user initiated account deletion process available.

    I would also like to delete an account I accidentally created.
