Fortunately, how to delete a Discord Account is a simple question to answer.

To get started, open your Discord application (or browser Discord), and navigate your way to the cog wheel shown below. This opens your settings menu, which you’ll need to open to find the next button.

Moving on, scroll down on the “My Account” page that opens, all the way to the end of the page. You’ll be given two options, both disabling your account and deleting it.

Decide between deleting or disabling for yourself – Disabling means you can come back in the future, deletion means you’ll need a new account to do so.
