Remove display name #22530

I’m unable to remove my name on GitHub Support Community. The username is fine but I am trying to remove the text in “your full name (optional)”. Please let me know how I can remove it. |

👋 Hey - welcome back. I’ve just gone ahead and removed that for you. Out of curiosity - do you know where in your GitHub profile that was picked up? |

That was actually my first username on GitHub. I have changed my username a few times. |

I would like to remove my real name as well. I also see “your full name (optional)” but don’t see how to remove it. Thank you. |

I’m pretty sure that’s picked up from your GitHub profile, so you’d need to log out of the forums, remove/change it from your GitHub profile, and then log back in. That usually re-syncs the user information. |

My name is no longer associated with my GitHub profile, but logging out and in didn’t work. |

Hmm it seems to have been resolved for me but when searching on a new device i still see my old name and photo I’ve logged out and back in but it still shows up on search EDIT: Not sure if the issue lies with google but when i use Brave search it is fixed, no full name, but in google it still shows up as the attached photo. It has been about 2 months since i changed the name and profile picture from what is being shown by google(and bing) |
