Michael,

Create your personal account and ignore the old company account. I had a
shared account that has not been used for about 10 years. I ignored it and
at some point github saw it was past its best-used-by date and dropped it.
Now there's only the active shared account and my personal one.

Rich

That is the tricky part.  My Github account was linked in some corporate
magic with my company email, and even though I remember the password it
wants to verify with my old inaccessible company email.  I guess I will
need to create a new account and forget about whatever I was working on in
my personal account.

Login to your github account. In the upper, right corner there's a symbol at
the right end; click on it.

Select Settings -> My Account and that should allow you to delete it.
Otherwise it's somewhere else in the settings menu.

How does one delete a GitHub account? I have one from my previous employer
that I need to delete and use a previous personal (school) account.
