    I would like to delete the recent new account that I thought I had to set up because I couldn’t get into my old account. I want to keep the old account, which can be identified by the purple rose in the profile picture area. The new account does not have a profile picture, and no details have been added, i.e. school attended or any personalized info (high school & college graduations, etc.). Please advise how I can permanently delete the new account while retaining the original account. Thanks!
