If you go to the My Characters page you should see 4 options beneath each of your characters-- View, Edit, Copy and Delete. Are those options not appearing for you?
If not, you may be best posting the link to the character in question so that a moderator can better assist you.
I'm going to flag this as a bug for staff to look over. They're currently working on an issue that popped up with a current update and this may or may not be related to that.
Please post a link to the affect character; Also, it is best to start a new thread rather than post on a thread that hasn't seen responses in over a year.
I'm having the same issue. All of my characters of different creation times over my 2 Month using D&D Beyond are affected. I can however access my campaigns and access my players characters. Just not mine.
It is probably related to the ' in your username. DDB doesn't like special characters in user names. Go to this thread and request a name change credit. Then watch you post for a moderator comment that a credit has been given to you. (It won't be a separate post, but a matter of the moderator "editing" your post). Then follow the instructions in the first post of the thread about what to do.
If that doesn't fix it, do you use a VPN? If so, which one? What happens if you turn it off?

It WAS that! Thanks for the quick advice! This has saved my Campaign tonight! Thank you so much!
Guys help every time I try to delete a character I do the whole confirmation thing then it just says I have an error. I don't have a special character in my name or any of the character's names. What do i do?
I have this same issue, whenever I try and delete a character it loads for about 1 minute saying "deleting (character name)" then it says "error deleting (character name)." I can still edit view and copy all my characters but cant delete them idk what's going on someone please help, here is a link to one of my characters incase that helps:
I'm running Honey, Shazam and Xverse Wallet. However DDB was working a few weeks ago and I had those extensions installed then apart from that Qustodio computer protection service.
Just because they were fine before doesn't mean they can't cause problems now. They constantly update themselves and D&D Beyond can update things - sometimes this means compatible things become incompatible.
Remove extensions/etc. Try to delete. If it works, you know it was one of them. If it still fails, you've ruled out the most likely cause and can continue to narrow down why you are having this issue.
The fact nobody else has made such a complaint in years indicates it is very likely to be something on your side, rather than D&D Beyond.

Hey. I just made a Test Character and I can't delete him or make changes to him. It would be great if someone could explain to me how I fix it.
Thanks and much regards to the Community

They Are but when I use the Delete Option nothing happens. Tried now Opera, safari and Firefox and this isn't helping either.
Hmm... I would recommend adding a link to the affected character(s) for a moderator to take a closer look at.
Even the View Option doesn't work and I made my characters Private. :(
MAybe it's a short Bug but I would love to get this Solved.
Does the confirmation popup appear? Or does it do nothing, as if your click didn't register?

The Second One. It's just staying or loading My Character Page Over and Over Again.
I'm running a Mac. Could be that a Problem?

Are you running any ad/popup blockers, browser extensions, or a VPN? One of those might be interfering with DDB.
