Gw2 can't delete characters.

Hi, so I made a couple of characters on my gw2 account for a couple of friends, and now that they're done with them I'd like to delete the characters, I type in their name and I click delete but once I've done that and the delete window has disappeared nothing happens and the character is still playable, what should I do?

Post this on the GW2 Guru forum, this is the GW1 Guru forum.

EDIT: just read on GW2 twitter that atm GW2 character creation and deletion is down.
