How do I delete a meteor developer account?

I ended up with two meteor developer accounts due to fiddling around with little understanding when I was just getting started. How do I delete one of the accounts now? I know this is a simple question, but I have searched the command line help, docs and manual with no success.

  • Go to http://meteor.com/contact
  • Select "Meteor Account Support"
  • Fill out the required fields and write a message asking to delete your account.
  • Wait several days, you may get further instructions to verify you own the account.

There are certain conditions where an account cannot be deleted:

  • have published packages
  • have app deployments
  • active login tokens

In my case, what I really wanted to do was convert an account to an organization, and for this the steps are similar:

  • Go to http://meteor.com/contact
  • Select "Meteor Account Support"
  • Fill out the required fields and write a message asking to convert your account to an organization
    • Mention the old account name you want converted
    • Mention the name of the new account that will own this organization
  • Wait several days for a response
  • At this point you will be asked to move the email address from the old account to the new account and verify it.
    • Add a new email address to the old account, verify it and make it the primary email address
    • Delete the original email address from the old account
    • Add that email address to your new account and verify it
  • Go back or reply to the email and let them know you did this.
  • Some magic will happen and hopefully the name of the old account will appear as an organization in your new account.

I found this issue that recommends emailing [email protected]. (no longer used)

Some people suggested tweeting at some of the people of Meteor to hurry things along as well.
