I want to create a new Avatar, not modify. I dont see any clear solution on forum to be able to Delete and start from original options, could you please help guide?
Thanks for your reply, I have posted in ideas board. It is very strange that something this basic was not developed before releasing the product.
For now is there any other alternative way? Can I create a brand new oculus profile and add to this account and that will give me an opportunity to create a new Avatar? Will shared apps that were purchased by primary account still be used by this other profile?Please help guide.
Thanks for posting about this on the Ideas board. We appreciate it!
In regards to still wanting to create a new avatar, you should be able to change all of the features of your current avatar through editing it. It might not be quite the same as starting fresh, but you can still change everything about your avatar, and that is definitely our top suggestion for you here!
It can get a bit complicated if you are looking to make a new Oculus account for yourself. Since a Facebook account is required, and only one Facebook account can be tied to one Oculus account, you may run into a bit of a roadblock there. If you do end up making another account to create a new avatar, please know there is no way to transfer your content to a new account. In that case, you'll want to check out our App Sharing feature so that you fully understand how it works.

That's so odd that such a basic feature is missing. I wish I would have never set an avatar up. There should be a warning pop up that says "WARNING: once you establish this avatar it cannot be changed." Honestly, how hard can it be? seriously. SMH.
This is really crazy. Basically not only can't you change the Avatar (and by the way, there are NOT a lot of ways to change the body type to what you want). If you are a woman and you accidentally set up a profile with a Male gender, or vice versa, you are screwed. Now I will have to erase everything on my account, create a totally separate facebook account using a different email address, and suffer the consequence of losing access to the apps that I purchased, just to change a simple setting.
This is nothing less than a major bug/design flaw, and it should be prioritized to be fixed.
Hey @rekleiner29er! I noticed that you are seeking more information on being able to delete the avatars. There was this thread that I saw in the Ideas Forums that has some volume to it, and it's about being able to delete the avatars. If any news comes about, it'll be easier for you to find updates on this matter in that thread.

Hello everyone! Since this thread has been dead for sometime now, I'll be needing to close it. There's a thread on the ideas forums about deleting the avatars and I think it'll be a better place to post than here. I highly recommend everyone who sees this post to go and post on this thread.
