Deleting old Wow Accounts

Several years ago I was on the phone with someone at Blizzard trying to find my first WoW account that I created when I first started playing wow the day it was put on the shelf at the Best Buy I worked at. He found, apparently 3 different accounts that may or may not have been that original account.

Well, turns out that the correct account (petrakid) had an unrecoverable character at the time and I stopped pursuing all that. To this day, however, I have two additional accounts showing that I really don’t need: “Petrakid” and “Petrahouse”. The Petrakid account WAS my original account from many years ago, and Petrahouse…no clue what that is. There’s also a starter account, “Wow1” which I don’t use.

Can the “Petrakid,” “Petrahouse,” and “Wow1” accounts be removed, so that only “Solifida” remains, which is my active account? And while you’re at it, can I get the Alpha? :slight_smile:

I believe there is a self help option to remove old licenses. Just be carsful which you choose, and i believe it is permanent.

As to the alpha, i onow you were tongue and cheek about it, however just in case somebody else comes across this, cs has NOTHING to do with alpha or beta access.

If those accounts have never been upgraded from starter to full WoW accounts, then you should be able to remove them yourself. But if they’ve been upgraded ever with game time on them, then they cannot be removed, not even by Blizz.

Unless they each happen to be on their own Battle.net account (separate emails) in which case you can permanently delete a whole battle.net account (link in the support article above), but that removes access to ALL games under that battle.net too, not just WoW.

Interesting. Never knew if they were funded it would not remove

Thanks for that Perl

It seems odd that Blizzard cannot delete a wow account.

Please be mindful of the date of the thread you’re posting too. This thread was two years dead.

But be that as it may, you are incorrect. While individual WoW accounts cannot be deleted, you can choose to delete your entire Battle.net account. Starter accounts though, can be removed.
