I have no idea where I should post this, so I just leave this here: Where can I delete my less wrong account?
No, the ‘delete account’ function doesn’t work, and I am not posting from the account I want to have deleted as I don’t want the name to stay in the google cache for another couple of months.
What exactly is your original goal? Do you want to be unable to make further posts under a given handle? Do you want certain existing posts to disappear from the internet?
It seems that deleting all your posts should work.
Edit: just saw this. If you delete, rather than edit, your posts, then the blank user page shows only that you registered on this site at some point, which I guess you’d have to consult your threat model to decide whether to care about.
Actually fixing the problem is clearly superior, though.

I don’t want people searching for a variant of my full name to be able to see my account (which will be true some months after the account is deleted)
I don’t know whether the failing delete-account-function is a true bug or a conscious inconveniency. It should be fixed in both cases.
(Sorry for the noise.)
