Final Thoughts:

Before deciding to delete your account, be certain this is the best choice for you.
Deleting your account will erase your work history and all account associations, potentially affecting any return to the platform in the future.
You may consider just setting your visibility to ‘Private’ or ‘Unavailable’ if you plan on taking a break from freelancing instead.
