Error 500, when deleting account

I can't delete my account.

When I do try to delete my account, I get a error 500 message.

I am on a free account that was downgraded from one of the previous business plans that are no longer offered. 

The chatbot is useless, and a free account doesn't get access to any support. How can I get my account deleted when your system is broken?

    Hi carlofornasari & anthonylan, let's jump right into this!

    Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

    If you still get the error message, then I'd appreciate a screenshot of it.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Switched browsers, cleared history, used private browsing, and got the same result.

    Here are two screenshots, one with a green arrow showing the button I was pressing and a second screen shot showing the page that loads once I have pressed the button.

     

    Sorry, I can't give you a screenshot. This platform doesn't allow attaching a photo.

    Linking a photo results in this error message. See

    i can't copy and paste the text of the error message, because that gives me another error message

    The error message states there is invalid HTML.
