I am currently subscribed to DND Beyond until August. I do not want a refund, I just want my account deleted completely. My fear is simply by having an account I will be considered to have agreed to the terms of the new OGL 1.1 as soon as it is released and that is something I will never agree to. How do I go about deleting this account?

The age of OGL is over. The Time of the ORC has come!
The moment that WotC declares OGL 1.0a "de-authorized", "revoked" or any such nonsense is the moment I release as much content as possible under OGL 1.0a and say, "Sue me WotC". OGL1.0a cannot be revoked. If thousands of us do it, the countersuit will be a class action suit.
Right, currently DND Beyond open content is under the OGL 1.0a. I want absolutely nothing to do with OGL 1.1 once it is released and never want to agree to it. Since agreement to OGL 1.0a is assumed with a DND Beyond account, I do not want a DND Beyond account to be active when OGL 1.1 is released. Agreement to OGL 1.1 could affect use of OGL 1.0a and I do not want to take that risk, hence, I want this account immediately terminated.
As a long time user of the GPL in various versions and other open licensing, I understand the legal risk of accepting terms to a new version of what may be called an open license when, in fact, it is not open at all

I was also seeking to delete my Beyond account due to their putting their own profit over the community yet again. But you have to use a support ticket to delete an account and they seem to have disabled the support link at the bottom-right of the page. At least I can't get it to work.
Yeah, I can't get anything support related to work either. At this point I am perfectly willing to give up access to the digital content I have purchased so long as I NEVER have to accept the terms of OGL 1.1.

Oh, did Wizards release their OGL 1.1? Or did someone post that they had a "leaked" draft of it and then everyone collectively forgot that people on the internet lie or that things like a part of a draft copy of a legal document can be made to look bad?
I mean, do what you want, but your knee-jerk reaction based on rumors and hearsay is unnecessary and makes you look foolish.
But if you read what Jon Ritter, Director of Games at Kickstarter actually said is that they were contacted by WoTC and advocated for creators. "Managed to get lower % plus more being discussed." What does that tell you? That the document in question is not complete nor up to date. So freaking out about it is probably not the smartest decision. Also, Jon can only confirm the parts of the OGL 1.1 that Kickstarter were a part of. Obviously the entire OGL 1.1 would not be something Kickstarter would have access to as it is in development, because they would have no need of that.
I want absolutely NOTHING to do with the OGL 1.1 and any future WotC products regardless. I want out. Now. I have been here before and do not like what I see, nor do I trust WotC one bit. OGL 1.1 will be GSL 2.0 on steroids, I guarantee it.
I also do not trust WotC to not infer having an account on DND Beyond is an ex post facto acceptance of OGL 1.1 once it released. I believe acceptance of OGL 1.1 will equate to accepting that OGL 1.0a is no longer valid. I will not go down that road. It is OGL 1.0a or I move on. Period.
I have finally be able to enter a ticket and have requested account deletion.

First time? Stay and watch what happens to this poor, beleaguered 'under monetized' brand. WotC's gaming materials are meh; it's the creativity and spirit of generosity in the 3rd party content creators that makes this thing valuable. Youtube, Twitch, companies like MCDM, Kobold Press, Goodman Games, SlyFlourish...that's where the game lives. These corporate trolls have no ****s to give about D&D. It's just dollars to them. So, watch what happens. It's happened before: twice. Third time's the charm, Hasboro.

Yeah, and OGL 1.0a is a perpetual license. They may think that can make it no longer authorized, it is still a legal license and can still be used. It can never be revoked. I have already modified the 5E SRD for my game table and will release it as Trailblazer for free under OGL 1.0a and there is nothing Hasbro or WotC can ever do about it. The only content in my Trailblazer is material released under OGL 1.0a and content of my own creation. OGL 1.0a will live on in perpetuity and there is nothing that can ever change that. All they are doing is making 6E a repeat of 4E and OGL 1.1 is nothing more than GSL 2.0.

You clearly don't understand how the Open Gamer Licence works, you have to agree to it whether or not your part of dnd beyond.
The O.G.L is Wotc's terms of use for their intellectual property, you don't get to choose whether or not your agree to it.

The Kickstarter people have confirmed some of it. They have already been reached out to by WotC.
