You can delete your GitHub Enterprise user account at any time. Before you do so, you should hand over the reins of any organizations you might own.
Deleting your user account removes all repositories, forks of private repositories, wikis, issues, pull requests, and pages.
Unless you're the only owner, deleting your user account doesn't delete the organizations you're a member of.
Review your organizations to ensure none are unintentionally deleted
If you're the owner of any organizations, you can either transfer ownership to another person or delete the organization.
To find out if you own any organizations:
In the top right corner of any page, click .
At the bottom of the left sidebar you will find any organizations you own.
Back up your account data
Before you delete your user account, make a copy of all private repositories, forks, wikis, and issues from your account.
Warning: Once your user account has been deleted, GitHub cannot restore your content.
