<p dir="auto">Account deletion is something that administrators currently do manually, when emailed with a request, but there's no reason to prevent users from being able to delete their own accounts.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm opening this as a draft PR in order to get early feedback on the UI. Obviously tests need to be written, and to help with development, it doesn't actually delete the account yet <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="smile" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f604.png">😄</g-emoji></p>
<p dir="auto">The idea is to have a button on the account editing page:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/360803/146233151-6d921bb3-994d-4b8f-b9dd-31896d8d51ad.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/360803/146233151-6d921bb3-994d-4b8f-b9dd-31896d8d51ad.png" alt="Screenshot from 2021-12-15 16-59-00" style="max-width: 100%;"></a></p>
<p dir="auto">Which then leads to a description of what exactly will happen when you delete your account:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/360803/146232783-2c53d980-aefa-4ed6-b95f-5adbe36d876f.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/360803/146232783-2c53d980-aefa-4ed6-b95f-5adbe36d876f.png" alt="Screenshot from 2021-12-15 16-54-42" style="max-width: 100%;"></a></p>
<p dir="auto">Please let me know what you think. If you want to see exactly what happens when you delete an account currently, have a look at the reasonably straightforward <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/8adb486130d867070504c2c2c705fdfe74e5d394/app/models/user.rb#L243-L259"><code>User#destroy</code></a> method.</p>
