Hi I want to delete my account, right after I did research to make sure i wasn't gonna get charged for anything, turns out I was when I did MORE research. Can someone help me?

Open a Customer Service ticket https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us - Delete Account is one of the options. Though there is nothing you will be charged for unless you choose to pay, for image creation (game creation, when including 3D data in the game, does require an additional license even for the free content).
There is no option "delete account"
As I said, open a support ticket.
As I wrote, there is no option "delete account". What else could I choose to have my account deleted? Please try yourself
It seems they massively changed the contact form, yay!![sad sad](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png)

Just select "Technical Support Question", then write "Delete Account" or something like that into the Subject and describe what you want. They'll sort it out if it ends up in the wrong department, I hope.
Cancellation/Close I would think
I don't think this is a tech issue.
Hi @astridsapphire, I am here since years and never got charged for anything i didn't choose. The software is completely free to use, you only will pay if you choose to buy assets from the store. If you model and texture by yourself, there would be nothing to pay to DAZ...
That original post is two years old, I am sure @astridsapphire is long gone. :)
ooops, didn't notice that lol
There should be a mechanism to prevent digging up and continuing threads that are too old, forcing the one with the question/comment, to open a new thread (with reference to the old one)
Redacted
I think the mechanism exists already... it's called "LOOK AT THE DATE"!
and to avoid answering the worng question is called "READ THE THREAD"
That sounds suspisiously like "read the instructions" I thought there was a rule against using profanity in the forums?
No man has ever read any instructions, asked for directions or help from a store clerk![wink wink](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.png)
This thread is basically a "run-on sentence".![devil devil](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/plugins/ckeditor/js/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png)
You can't beat a necro-bump for generating confusion
At the same time...
My OCD nature would rather have one thread, despite how old its initial conception was, that was dedicated to Account Closing (or fill in the blank other topic) with all the questions regarding it answered (or not) than a bunch of them scattered around like... like... well like a bunch of threads on the same topic.
Of course, the counter to that could easily be, "yea, that will work when Daz's forum search works".
optimist (and that is not a comment on the likelihood of an improved search).
One of the unwritten rules of internet forum etiquette is to "look it up or Google it before you ask the same question someone else already got an answer to"... you see it quoted over and over again... "Google is your friend".
So basically "don't be a lazy noodge and waste people's time".
I'm often tempted to dig up dead threads... there have been a bunch of times I'd have a question and I'll look it up before making a new thread... after looking at a couple of threads that seem sorta like what I'm looking for but aren't close, eventually I'll come across a thread where someone asks the question I'm looking for an answer to, but after reading a couple of pages or posts it ends with no real answer or conclusion...
So then I'll make a thread asking the question and many times I'll get referred to the old thread that ended mid-thought and I'm wondering if the person who suggested the thread thinks I don't know about Google and they just googled what I did and passed on the link... which is kind and nice, but now if I ask the question again, I'll look stupider than normal or that I'm being rude and just ignored them and didn't visit the link... at least with resurrecting a dead thread, I can say... "So did anyone ever come to a conclusion on this, or did someone delete their posts?" and not have any hurt feelings or confusion about an unanswered question... because honestly I think it's worse when there are dead, but accessible threads that end with no conclusion, out there wasting people's search time...
I can't be the only one this frustrates... you are searching for how to do something and you see a thread titled "How Rig A Creature With Multiple Limbs?" (I'm just making up a random example) and the only one you find is four years old, two or three pages long and most of the people responding don't seem to have read the title or the OP's question, because while they might be helpful answers about rigging a human figure most of the replies seem to miss the multiple limb part... (again this is just a random example I made up).
A couple of thread I made didn't result in me getting the answer I needed, but eventually when I did find the answer, I tracked down the thread and added the conclusion or answer, so some other poor sap who comes across it doesn't waste their time.
I'm genuinely not trying to be snarky or disrespectful to anyone about this, but I don't get why resurrecting certain dead threads is so bad... at least without a feature like was mentioned previously... it seems more conservative of resources to do this... unless there is some technical reason that makes it a bad idea... I get (sort of) why bumping threads is bad, but aside from people maybe not reading the original date, or last post date of a necrothread and some version or feature associated confusion ensuing from that... I don't really see why it's bad.
Threads get mearged all the time... presumably because they are of a similar topic and to keep things neat (?)... but it's bad to resurrect a tread that deals with your question, but didn't answer it or work for you... maybe because things changed, like in this case where the contact form changed.
Probably none of that was worth reading because usually I'm the only one who sees things that way, so just ignore all that and write it off as the ravings of a deranged lunatic.
If there is a technical or technological reason for that being a bad thing, I'd really like to know... I'm not being sarcastic, I really like learning stuff... it gives my poor brain cell stuff to do being that he's so damn lonely.
EDITED TO ADD: OMG... FOUR FRICKIN BAD GATEWAY ERRORS TRYING TO WRITE THIS... AAAAAAAARRRRRR!!
I don't understand why you would want to close an account to begin with. It isn't like DAZ is charging people a fee to have an open account. If you don't want to use it, then stop using it. There is no need for the drama of having to CLOSE the account.
Well, sometimes it's just good practice to close accounts you know you are done with... if not for mental tranquility, for issues of security... DAZ might seem super secure to some, but maybe to someone not interested in it or from another country, it could be seem like just another flakey website and who knows what'll happen if you leave an open account laying around these days, or who might get their hands on it and do what with it... it's not a bad idea to tie up loose ends.
As the threads may be so old that you haven't seen it before, when you open it, you are given the original question where someone has a problem with DS 4.6, running Flinstone era Nvidia card and someone comes 10 years later... "I have the same problem...", without explaining what his/her problem is and not telling about the system, DS version or nothing.
The right answer would be... "No, you don't have the same problem" but to say that out loud would be considered rude.

I understand completely. Most of the time I research before I make a new thread on a topic. I'm not against casting a raise dead spell on an old post. If it fits the purpose, why not use it? If the question is partially answered why not keep expanding on that? I believe all this out of topic thread could have been eliminated (or minimised) if the necromancer had acknowledged his resurrection spell and said:
"Hey, I know this is a 2-year-old post and perhaps things have changed, but I want to do the same as the OP but the given solution is not working for me.” Or something like that.
I’m not blaming the necromancer; I’m just giving an example. Is acknowledging that the thread is old, and things may be different now. Also, I’m not saying you must do this or “This is the way” either, but it shows you have awareness and minimises the chances of getting trolled on the internet, where trolls live and thrive.
I don't like starting new threads either having been chastised for it elsewhere in the past, different forums have varying etiquette.
I do know someone who went to a great deal of trouble to close his DAZ account in spite of owning content because he was so angry about his art being censored.
This happened after we lost the original forum with nudity tags, so people can have many varied reasons.
I still communicate with that user who now does photography and honestly did not understand the reasoning but whatever.
