How to delete my Genome?
Please note that while you should be able to delete files from your genome, you will not be able to delete the final file because a Membership requires at least one virtual enhanced genome and this requires at least one data file.
The enhanced virtual genome in your account will be automatically (and permanently) deleted at the end of membership.
If you want your enhanced virtual genome to be deleted before then, please let us know as we can trigger that deletion for you (although doing so will cause your Membership to immediately end and your account to revert back to a free, non-member account).
