Deleting Identities

Deleting Identities

You can delete an identity by clicking the “Delete” (trashcan) icon beneath the identity you wish to delete. You can also delete an identity from the edit identity screen. Deleted identities become inactive, but all of their contributions remain visible in MySciLife. Identity names that have already been used cannot be re-used until the school year has ended and the active platform version has been archived (usually July 1).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.
