A question

   Hello Beautiful Souls,
   I have a question. What will happen if I click "close my account" button by mistake? Is it a reversible action? Will I ever be able to access my account again, and will my articles remain published?
   Thank you!!

      I believe you will asked to confirm your choice. If you then click yes, then the account is deleted and is unrecoverable. But I have never tried it.
      
      If you wanted to test this out, you could create a second account with a different user name and email and then delete that account.

      To close your account you have to do it at specific close account page. I think where you almost did it would only take you to that page when you updated your profile.
      
      Here is a link for Close Account at the FAQ. I played with it and to even begin the process you have to answer a security question for access. Then it opens to a Close Account page with instructions and warnings at the top.
      
      Edit: I tried the 'Close Account' link at the Edit Profile page and, yes, it takes you to the Close Account page where you are shown the warnings and you have to enter the answer for a security question.

         You really played with that button. Sir, you are far too brave. I respect courageous people, so I respect you.
         Thank you for providing the link and the information.
         Blessings always!!!

   Misbah, I think if you click "close my account" by mistake, a message will come up "Are you sure you want to close your account?" This gives you the opportunity to say "no" if it was a mistake.
   After that, I am not sure if it is like articles that you want to delete, where you have some time to decide if you want to keep them or delete them forever.

      I see, I asked that because last night I was editing my profile and by mistake I was about to click the button which says "Close my account". I think that button should be placed somewhere else. It should not be there under the profile picture. I was just curious to know what would happen if something similar happened again in the future.

   They give you a warning first. If you go ahead, that's it!! Punto final!! Cuidado!!

   I always fear I'm going to click delete instead of edit when I'm updating an article.
   I agree...these buttons need to be further apart.

      Bredz, I have deleted many of my old articles, and that is a reversible action. You can easily undelete and restore the article within 24 hours without any problem.
      
      Lots of Love to you
