We have not yet removed the help files. We can use this commit as a conversion commit since a lot more help changes will be merged before this PR gets merged. We will need to rebase on top of main, run conversion step in this commit, push those changes and then merge the PR. NOTE: This commit temporarily breaks the astro build since we have renamed the path in the MDX files from starlight_help/ to help/ early. That should be fine since astro build will not break any tests right now. We should squash this commit with the next commit removing help center files when merging into main and remove this NOTE.

In Zulip, you have a dedicated account for each organization you belong to.
|
|
Deactivating your Zulip account in one organization will have no effect on any
|
|
other Zulip accounts you may have.
|
|
|
|
Once you deactivate your account, you cannot register in the same organization
|
|
with the email address you used before. If you are re-joining an organization,
|
|
ask an organization administrator to
|
|
[reactivate](/help/deactivate-or-reactivate-a-user#reactivate-a-user) your
|
|
account.
|
|
|
|
<ZulipTip>
|
|
You can find all the Zulip Cloud accounts associated with your email address
|
|
with the [**Find your accounts**](https://zulip.com/accounts/find/) tool.
|
|
If you have forgotten your account password, you can
|
|
[reset it](/help/change-your-password).
|
|
</ZulipTip>
|
|
|
|
## Deactivate your account
|
|
|
|
<ZulipNote>
|
|
If you are the only owner in the organization, you cannot
|
|
deactivate your account. You will need to
|
|
[add another owner](/help/user-roles#change-a-users-role) first.
|
|
</ZulipNote>
|
|
|
|
<FlattenedSteps>
|
|
<NavigationSteps target="settings/account-and-privacy" />
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Account**, click **Deactivate account**.
|
|
1. Approve by clicking **Confirm**.
|
|
</FlattenedSteps>
|
|
|
|
## What happens when you deactivate an account
|
|
|
|
* Your [user card](/help/user-cards) will have a notice indicating that your
|
|
account has been deactivated.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Any bots that you maintain will be disabled.
