  I created a site for a college project, I set up the account with my student email. Now I’m no longer enrolled so the email is deactivated, meaning I can’t access the account. I really would like to delete or make private this site as it contains personal contact info of mine. Is there any way to do this?

  Hi there! Start with the Account Recovery form here:

  You don’t need access to the old email to use that form. Add as much ownership proof as you can, such as the original activation email or any other details tied to the account.
