No. There really is no need to. If you'd like to leave, you can simply uninstall the software, and optionally log into your account online and change all the personal info (email, etc.) to something invalid. But accounts are never deleted from the system.

You can delete computers from the list if they show no more tasks in the list. as long as there's any task in a not returned status (or not past deadline etc.), you an't delete them.

If you have one computer that's in the list twice or more times, you can merge the ID numbers. For merging it doesn't matter that there are still tasks open.

It shows 2 tasks. But I uninstalled BOINC on it. How I can cancel these tasks for it?

You can't. They will have to pass their deadline and be sent out to someone else. Then when finally that person returns them, credit will be granted to the people that actually crunched the tasks and the tasks will be deleted. Only then can you delete the computer.

That can take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months, though.

Fred-accounts are not deleted....as Ozzfan stated earlier:
