[docs-scanner] Incomplete and grammatically broken prerequisite for account deactivation #25128

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

File: content/manuals/accounts/deactivate-user-account.md

Issue

The prerequisites section contains a grammatically broken instruction that's also incomplete:

"Unlink your GitHub and account."

The phrase "GitHub and account" is grammatically incorrect. Additionally, the linked page covers unlinking both GitHub and Bitbucket accounts for the deprecated automated builds feature, but this prerequisite only mentions GitHub.

Why this matters

Readers preparing to deactivate their account will be confused by:

  1. The broken grammar ("GitHub and account" is not a valid phrase)
  2. Incomplete guidance - users with Bitbucket linked accounts won't know they need to unlink those too
  3. No context that this only applies if they used the deprecated automated builds feature

A user with a Bitbucket-linked account might miss this prerequisite entirely and encounter issues during deactivation.

Suggested fix

Replace the broken prerequisite with clearer, more complete guidance:

- If you used Docker Hub's automated builds feature (deprecated), unlink your GitHub or Bitbucket account. See [Unlink a GitHub user account](../docker-hub/repos/manage/builds/link-source.md#unlink-a-github-user-account) or [Unlink a Bitbucket user account](../docker-hub/repos/manage/builds/link-source.md#unlink-a-bitbucket-user-account).

Or, if unlinking is required for all users regardless of automated builds:

- Unlink your GitHub or Bitbucket account if you have one connected. See [Link accounts](../docker-hub/repos/manage/builds/link-source.md).
