Thanks Sharon... think maybe you need to update your launchpad e-mail settings?

Any updates on my PPA being deleted? :)

Thanks.

David,

I am afraid we can not delete your PPA at this time. Due to a bug in launchpad we can not delete or rename PPAs that have been actually used.

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/392887

I apologize for the inconvenience.

It looks like this has now changed and in fact I can delete my own ppa. I have done this, but I am still unable to change my username... would it be possible for someone to change it for me? I would like danbishop88

Thanks

The linked bug is nearly fixed and once enabled on the edge service you'll be able to rename once all a person's PPAs are deleted. Please give it a few days since UDS is taking precedence right now.
