This just still worked for me, so give it a shot, if you are not planning to sign yourself over to Academia.ed u’s new terms and conditions 👎👎👎
After you log in, instead of clicking to accept the terms, edit the URL (or open a new tab) to go directly to www.academia.edu/settings which (at least currently) is not giving the pop-up to accept the new terms. At the bottom of that page, you can delete your account.
