Hello,
 
Thank you for contacting Dreamstime.
You can disable all files approved more than six months ago at any time. You are allowed to disable 30% of files approved in the recent six months, however 70% must be kept online for six months from their approval date. You can disable each of your remaining 70% after the six months pass.
 
To disable files, please go to My Account/Online files: http://www.dreamstime.com/onlinefiles.php , edit the images. On the following page scroll down and click the trashcan button to delete the image.
 
Once you no longer have images online, you can suspend the account from the public site from My Account/Edit Profile button.
 
There must be at least $100 USD in the earnings for the payment system to accept a payment request through your account here:
https://www.dreamstime.com/request_payment.php
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
 
Kind regards,

You need to follow their instructions. They will NOT just close your account.  You have to disable your images. You can disable all images over 6 months old.  You can also disable 30% of the files that are less than 6 months old.  The remaining have to stay up until their 6-month period being online has passed.  Then, after the final 6 months, you have to do in and disable the remaining files.  Once that is done you can close your account.  They make it very difficult to leave on purpose, but their site, their rules.  I looked at your port and some drawings are still active. This means you personally still have work to do on your end in order to close your account for good.

I want to leave. What should I do?

I can not understand your point of view.

Doesn't matter what you want, what matters is what Pawes99 says....their rule.  When you signed up you agreed to their terms. They are not claiming copyright, only that there is a very specific way you must accept in order to close your account.  Follow what I said above.  YOU (Boians Cho Joo Young) must deactivate your own images. They sent you a link on where to do that. Follow their advice.  Once all of your images are deleted you can THEN REQUEST TO FULLY CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT.

I deleted the Dreamtime image.
Online files 0 (zero)
I still can not leave.

Why does Dreamtime not let me leave?
Dreamtime repeats the message 20 months ago.
I  erased the all image. I really want to leave.

I have been distributing content among 160 Selling Partner Companie in 47 countries for 10 years . The 159 image sales partners made it easy to delete content and delete accounts . Only the last Dreamtime remaining cannot be withdrawn.

My analysis of microstock vendors is the server script and the discount war. In economics terms zombie economy.

My conclusion for this industry is exclusive sales through personal sites. August 2015 I started the exclusive sale and received 8 hacking attacks.  I am currently working on the ninth renewal, and I am trying to create new content all the time.

Thank you for contacting Dreamstime.
You can disable all files uploaded more than six months ago at any time. You are allowed to disable 30% of files uploaded in the recent six months. 70% must be kept online for six months from their approval date and you can disable each of your remaining 70% after the six months pass. To shorten this period, we recommend you check the date of the last approval and start disabling the most recently approved ones. This way, depending on the size of your portfolio, you can reduce the waiting time to 2 or 3 months.

All files will remain in our offline database until all liabilities concerning them are cleared off. Once files are disabled, nobody but you and admin. members is able to view/access them. The disabled images are usually deleted from our offline database as well 12 months after their disable date. The account closure details can be found in our Terms and Conditions
http://www.dreamstime.com/terms#contributors

To disable the files, please go to your Management Area, Online files http://www.dreamstime.com/onlinefiles.php , edit the images and see the disabling button the image details page.
Once you no longer have any images online, we can block it so that it is not visible online and we can also effectuate last payment if your balance is $100 minimum. Please keep in mind that we do not make any exception from the account closure rules specified above.

Dreamstime politics are quite ridiculous on this. Photo's don't sell very well (on Shutterstock and elsewhere they sell really good), so I also want to close my account, also because there is a 100 dollars to be sold before I get paid. Means I'm competing on my own uploads elsewhere, where I get paid every month. Close the account!

I have applied for withdrawal from 20 months ago. I still can not leave.

Dreamstime are just awfully petty about closing accounts and deleting content. They will enforce the 6 month wait thing even if you deliberately violate every rule they have. I changed all the titles of the remaining content I had there to links to find the content at other sites and a message advising users not to buy from Dreamstime then linked the images to support to show them what I had done...

...they still made me wait 6 months and didn't even change the image titles.

Sounds right. They aren't all there.

I waited until I was over payout. Deleted files with their stupid rules. Then wrote and closed account, got full payment. Took some time but I got everything and not 600 days. I followed their rules.

Yeah sounds like they're the petty ones.
