User ID

Is there any way to change my email address.
I thought that I could do it through the User Control Panel but I have set a rather awkward ID and do want to get rid of that.
I cannot find any way of deleting the wrong registration. Is there a way?

You can change your registered email address but not your username at:
https://identity.mageia.org/
but read the FAQ before you do:

You have to manage your account at https://identity.mageia.org
For more questions you may want to look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia.org_user_account

If you want your forum user to be deleted, that can be done by forum administration.
What do you want exactly, as you mention very different things. First the email adress,
then the ID (i suppose that means your username) and then the registration altogether.

Thank you for your quick response.

Yes I believe that we need to delete 'curioususer' and then I will be able to change the email address for 'Desmondra'. At the moment I cannot change the email address to desmond.armtrong@gmail.com because at present I get the message that an account is already registered to the gmail address.
If I understand correctly it is just a question of deleting the 'curioususer' and then, I will be able to change the email address.
So we need an administrator to do this for me.
