Finally got a payout from them so its time to close my account.

How do i do this whilst ensuring all my content is deleted and not orphaned or kept online for sale?

Im reluctant to just use the close account links just in case but also dont fancy manually deleting thousands of images.

123rf is functionally inept. Best to do it yourself.

This is what I did before requesting to close account. It took me a bit because I had 5,000 assets there.  But I didn't trust them with my stuff so I took the time over a week deleting until I had one left, a pic of me giving the middle finger.

I'm happy I trusted them from day one and made thousands dollars.
I'm happy I did not trust them anymore and quit one or two years ago.
(I updated all the files with a crappy description and keywords before deleting everything).

Hi, did you have to request payment or did it arrive automatically?
