This manual describes how to delete your HPC Account and the RWTH RegApp account.

• Delete the HPC Account
• Delete the RWTH RegApp Account

Delete the HPC Account 

Step 0

You can delete your HPC account as described below.

Important:

• Once your HPC account is deleted, you will no longer be able to connect to the cluster. However, your data on the HPC file servers will remain intact and, under the current Lifecycle Policy, will be removed one year after the HPC account deletion.
• Deleting your HPC account does not affect your RWTH RegApp account. As long as you do not proceed with deleting your RWTH RegApp account, you can re-register for an HPC account at any time and regain access to your data, provided it has been less than one year since deletion.

If you wish to proceed, continue to Step 1.

Step 1

If you are already logged into the RWTH RegApp, proceed directly to Step 2. Otherwise, follow the manual Login RWTH RegApp.

Step 2 

On the RWTH RegApp dashboard click on the "Registry info" button as highlighted in the screenshot.

Step 3

Below the header "Deregister: RWTH High Performance Computing" click on the "Deregister" button. Clicking this button and confirming the action on the next page will delete the HPC account.

Step 4

You have deleted your HPC account. 

Delete the RWTH RegApp Account 

Step 0

You can delete your RWTH RegApp Account by deleting all your personal data. This action is recommended only if you no longer need access to High Performance Computing (HPC) services in an official capacity.

If you are required to use HPC services for your job and still wish to deregister, please contact your supervisor before proceeding.

Important:

• Deleting your RWTH RegApp account is irreversible. If you later want to use our cluster again, you will need to create a new RWTH RegApp account and a new HPC Account (which includes adding new 2FA tokens and SSH keys etc.).
• Deregistration from RWTH RegApp also removes access to your HPC account. However, this does not delete the data stored on HPC file servers. This data will be preserved for one year after account deletion.

If you wish to proceed, continue to Step 1.

Step 1

If you are already logged into the RWTH RegApp, proceed directly to Step 2. Otherwise, follow the manual Login RWTH RegApp.

Step 2 

On the RWTH RegApp dashboard, navigate to the top-right corner. Hover your cursor over the "Index" button and click on "Personal Data" in the menu that appears.

Step 3 

Click on the button "Delete my personal data" to continue. Clicking this button and confirming the action on the next page will delete the RWTH RegApp account and you will loose access to your HPC account.

Step 4

You have deleted your RWTH RegApp account.
