Agreed! There should be multiple opt outs and very clear, "we are deleting your account, you sure about that" vibes. Instead it was quick and easy to make a massive mistake.
I'm on a mac and Sharepoint and Onedrive don't get along well with Macs. Thanks for the recs though! I'm going to find something more secure where employees don't have the ability to look at your stored files (also a big yikes).

I heard back from support over the weekend. It was probably a copy/paste of the same response you got.
I like how in the documentation it state merging an account requires following a series of prompts. There is exactly zero prompts. We have create a new account or merge. No dialogue boxes. Nothing. Any of your suggestions would be an improvement. Personally, I think there should be a skull and crossbones popup.
