Clarification on how to delete old repo after PDS migration

[mackuba]

In Bryan's blog post about migrating accounts using Goat, at the end, it says:

You may chose to delete the old account once you are confident the new account is configured and running as expected.

But it doesn't say how to do this :) goat doesn't seem to have such command.

I tried to do this from a Ruby console using my library, and I can log in and call endpoints like getSession or checkAccountStatus, but when I called requestAccountDelete, I got an error:

401 Unauthorized: jwt signature does not match jwt issuer

I also tried to do this from the webapp, I can log in (though timelines aren't loading), and I opened the request delete dialog and got a token via email, but when I enter it, I get some strange error message about XRPC.

I know I could just leave the old repo there, but I guess I just like to have some closure here :) so since the blog post says I can do that, how would I do it?

(I found some info now here that this can be done via deactivateAccount with a deleteAfter parameter, is that the only way? In the lexicon, it says that this parameter is only a "recommendation" to the server on how long to keep the repo…)
