what to do with accounts no longer used

Not directly 1p related but I'm decluttering my credentials across the net. I've contacted, requested and shutdown a lot of accounts but some cannot be shutdown. Wondering if there's any best practices around these. Should I just delete them and forget about it or is there anything else? Since I no longer use these sites, I wouldn't like them hanging around. Thanks.

    Hello @henders,

    My own personal approach was to create a new tag titled deactivated. When I say your post I then thought of another tweak I could make which was to edit the items and change the display option from Always to Never display in browser. The tag will allow you to easily locate the items should need them and the display option removes their visibility from within 1Password mini i.e. they won't be shown when you try to fill.

    If that doesn't seem enough, you could create a new secondary vault that you title archive or similar. Then you could move all the items like this into this vault so they aren't cluttering up your primary.

    Does either of those sound like it might work for you?

    Thanks @littlebobbytables

    Yes it does work for me. I am going with the first option at the moment but the second option looks enticing as well.
