Change username or cancel account

Hi All,
I’d like to change my username and in the alternative if that’s not possible I’d like to just close my account. How do I manage this? I dug into settings and profile without success. Thanks. -
Just make a new account?
Or did you mean github?
Deleting your user account. You can delete your GitHub user account at any time. Before you do so, you should hand over the reins of any organizations you might own. Deleting your user account removes all repositories, forks of private repositories, wikis, issues, pull requests, and pages owned by your account.
or
You can change your Github account name at any time. To do this, click your profile picture > Settings > Account Settings > Change Username . Links to your repositories will redirect to the new URLs, but they should be updated on other sites because someone who chooses your abandoned username can override the links. -
My account isn’t connected to github so I mean my actual account. I want to actually remove any posts that have my current username on the forum - which means either purging the account or changing my username. I’ve never seen a forum that doesn’t allow deleting a user account before…

Then hopefully one of the moderators/administrators will see your post and advise you further
-
Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

I can’t change the name. According to Google admins can, but I’m not sure
