If I delete my account, will it delete the projects as well?
Ever since I started scratch, I think I had problems with my computer. Now that a week has passed, I asked for scratch(in “contact me”) for them to delete it. Will this delete me projects as well?

I think they are still stored on the server, but if you try to access the page you'll get a 404 error. But I'm not sure, and if you always want you can save the projects to your computer to someday use them again
and what problems have you had? I doubt they're from Scratch.

I'm sorry I don't know but I think Turkey3 has answered your question well. Ever since I started scratch, I think I had problems with my computer. Now that a week has passed, I asked for scratch(in “contact me”) for them to delete it. Will this delete me projects as well?

Do you know what happens with the loves and faves a scratcher who deleted his account gave? I think they are still stored on the server, but if you try to access the page you'll get a 404 error. But I'm not sure, and if you always want you can save the projects to your computer to someday use them againand what problems have you had? I doubt they're from Scratch.

If I delete my account, will it delete the projects as well?
In the future, you will be able to delete your account from account settings. (source)
So once you can do that, you can choose between those two options. In the meantime, I think it will delete all projects, because I don't think the infrastructure for option A is available yet. 2. This takes them to a page that explains that they can do one of two things:
a. Close their account. This keeps their user profile and projects visible, so that others can still see their projects and remix them, but it turns off commenting on all projects and their user profile.
b. Delete their account. This removes (unshares) all projects and makes visits to their profile page redirect to a page that says “this account has been removed.” (They should download any projects they want to keep first.)

There was a long discussion on this a while ago, and I think that the Scratch Team said that if you (or a hacker) deletes your account, you ARE able to get it back through the contact form.source)Could you restore your acc.?
