Deleting Identities


You can delete an identity by clicking the trashcan icon beneath the identity you wish to delete on either the Identity Menu or the Manage Identities page. Deleted identities become inactive, but all of their contributions remain visible in MySciLife. Identity names that have already been used cannot be reused until the school year has ended and the active platform version has been archived (usually July 1).


WARNING: Once deleted, an identity cannot be reactivated.
