Can't delete myself as Admin
-
Hello,
I have an old client with a wordpress site where I was added as an admin years ago. I no longer want this site listed as part of my sites, but I can’t seem to figure out how to delete myself. When I go to the user settings and try to delete myself I get this error:
You have specified this user for removal:
ID #4482691: marshmelly411 Sorry, you are not allowed to remove this user.
There are no valid users selected for removal.She is also listed as an administrator, so I’m not sure why it won’t let me be deleted. I also really don’t want to contact her either as its been years and thats kind of awkward. Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
The Leave a Blog section of the My Blogs support page says:
If you no longer wish to be a Contributor, Author, or Editor of a blog, [at WP-Admin dashboard > My Blogs] hover your mouse over the URL of the blog you wish to leave and click the Leave Blog link:
I don’t know if this will work for an Administrator, so you might have to change you’re role to a less one first, as the instruction only specifies the user roles Contributor, Author, and Editor.
If that option doesn’t work, then please add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention. If you do so, staff will respond here.
If you are the site owner under that username, then you may transfer ownership in order to remove yourself as an administrator.

Ahh thank you SO much! That worked! I didn’t even know that My Blogs page existed. There’s actually a lot of stuff located on that page that I’ve been trying to figure out for awhile (i.e old blogs that no longer exist that I need to disconnect Jetpack from). Thanks again :)
