One non-obvious step I encountered. After login with LinkedIn, it doesn't look like you logged in but you did. You have to hit the "Explore" button on the top bar and then you'll see your name menu on the upper right, and you can proceed to settings.

Another thing: if you've never directly used Slideshare and instead signed in via your Linkedin in username, you'll need to set a password in order to delete the account (it prompts you to set one in the delete modal).

I did not need to do that & never used slideshare

<shrug> Their site is so full of anti-patterns it's quite possible I accidentally signed up again and deleted again. Either way, it wanted a real password before letting me click delete.

Thanks I had exactly this problem!

Refresh/F5 worked for me.
