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 owned by your account. Issues and pull requests you've created and comments you've made in repositories owned by other users will not be deleted.
If you’re an organization owner and you want to delete your user account, you must transfer ownership to another person or delete your organizations before you can delete your user account.
Back up your account data
Before you delete your user account, make a copy of all repositories, private forks, wikis, issues, and pull requests owned by your account.
Warning: Once your user account has been deleted, GitHub cannot restore your content.
