I've been wondering if it's better to delete my account or just stop using it.

Deleting my account doesn't destroy my data, everything still exists, it's just not visible to me anymore. But deletion allows someone else to use my handle.

I've put mine private. Then nobody can steal the name, and the lack of engagement eliminates the temptation to use it much.
