How To Delete A Game Center Account
Game Center is an Apple application that allows Apple device users to download and access all their games in one location on the device. The log in information for Game Center is associated with the Apple ID used to sign up for Game Center. There have been complaints about having multiple accounts on Game Center, but there is no information on the Apple support page about multiple accounts. Apple does reveal how to disable your account, but this is not the same as deleting the account. The question about how to delete a Game Center account has been asked for more than two years and Apple has never answered the question.
