What to do with old profile invites still pending?

I have three people that I sent invites to join WikiTree a couple of years ago and they never responded and are still in my watchlist and "pending".  How to get rid of them?  They are all obviously living, so I can't post them here.

AFAIK you can post someone on WikiTree who is living but only certain levels of protection are allowed.  In particular they can't be an open profile until they die.  And if you don't have permission for less protection you should make them red. (private) or unlisted.

They are already posted and 'red', but I don't know anything about them other than their email address.  I do not want to be responsible (manage) profiles for living people I don't know.  They are not connected to any other profiles.  This happened several times where people would ask me to enter their relatives for them, and I would send them an invite to join and do it themselves.  I don't believe it is reasonable to be forced to a) leave the virtually empty profile here, and b) have to be the 'manager'.  Is there no other option other than to delete my own account and all the 'private' profiles along with it?
I believe profiles of living people can be deleted. Send an email to info@wikitree.command explain the situation.
Thanks for that!  Appreciate it.
