Lauryn Menard dedea23745 help-docs: Move help center documentation to top level directory.
These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, 
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

What happens when you deactivate an account

  • Accounts are local to an organization; so deactivating a Zulip account in the foo.zulipchat.com organization will have no effect on any Zulip account you might have in the bar.zulipchat.com organization.

  • Any bots that you maintain will be disabled.

  • Deactivating your account won't delete messages you've sent or files you've shared. If permitted in your organization, delete content you'd like to remove before deactivating your account.

  • You cannot register a Zulip account using the email address of a deactivated account in that organization. If you change your mind about deactivating an account, an organization administrator can reactivate your account at any time.

!!! warn ""

If you are the only owner in the organization, you cannot
deactivate your account. You'll need to
[add another owner](/help/change-a-users-role) first.
