Try to log in from Europe, or change the details of your account to day Europe. Because with gdpr in Europe they are obligated to let you delete it.

I just tried to delete my inactive NordVPN account from a European IP (not through a VPN, I actually live there). Spent 10 minutes searching for a delete option without luck. The only way seems to be by submitting a form (which for some reason also requires "payment info"). Sketchy as fuck.

If you are European, I believe there is some government office you can complain to about gdpr violation (can’t help more sorry, I believe it is a little different from country to country)
