The screen says I cant delete anymore characters? Anyone understand this? I've deleted about 3 or so... One as I got bored, another immediately as I noticed I'd put them in the wrong faction, and I cant remember the rest.

    Each time you delete a character, a timer starts and it takes about 24 hours for that delete to come back. Then when you delete another character, a timer starts - but only one ticks down at a time, so if you delete three right away, over the next three days you will get about a delete back a day (rough estimate).

    There are quite a few older threads explaining this was done to help combat botters...
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    It's part of the anti-bot measures. If you wait 24 hours (maybe 48, I forget), you should get the ability to delete another character.

    Deletions are on a cooldown, you get a max of 3 and if you use them you need to wait 24hours for the counter to go up.
