Have you ever done that?
If so, how long did you play your character and why have you trashed him/her?
Deleting a character you played for hours

lyra_song
My first mesmer i played for maybe 50 hours, then deleted. Remade her soon after.
-Loki-
I got an elementalist to borlis pass before I got sick of being forced to use fire for the first 3/4 of the game and trashed it. Now I want another one because I don't have to but have a monk in it's spot.
Peewee
Deleted a lvl 20 warrior with about 150 hours on him. Not so much a biggie, but i forgot to take the stuff of him and consequentially lost a fair bit of cash, and a Perfect Furious Chaos Axe of Fortitude req 8 :S.
Matsumi
deleted a lvl 12 e/me because I didn't like the playstyle and having to use fire all the time like mentioned before. Also, deleted a w/mo lvl 20 because after the titan quests I really just got bored with it and wanted to try other more interesting things, didn't really like the playstyle too much either, made alot of money before deleting though which was nice. Deleted a n/w lvl 20 because it was my very first character and didn't know too much about playing a necro at the time, saved up enough money for my other characters though. After getting ascended I thought it was time to delete and try new things, made another necro later on, which I really like playing alot better than the old one because I now know what I'm doing. Now I have a necro, monk, mesmer, and a ranger all level 20 and passed hells precipice. I'm just trying to figure out which one I will delete next.
Tigers Anger
Deleted 100s of hours played on Ele because I didn't use him enough in PvP (this was when support E/Mo's weren't popular) then made a Ranger, got drok and perfect runes and deleted him to start again with my friends (who stopped playing soon) , then started again and got 15k and stuff on him and he's happy.
Winterclaw
I haven't deleted any of my PC's yet (which is the only reason I don't have a monk). I'm just not willing to part with any of them yet.
Xceran
Deleted my first character, ele, who was level 16 in Maguma Jungle, because I wasn´t happy with my secondary proffession or the name I´d chosen. I created a new ele and the very first step I take in Pre-searing I see a guy saying in the main chat that you can change your sec. later in the game... 
hidden_agenda
Actually, I've deleted so many characters that I've played "hours" that I've lost count... 
However, most of them were "hours" in single digits. I did delete my very first character, who was a w/me. I had already spend many hours on him but still had difficulty figuring out how to play him properly...

this char was my second build and I played it for probably 2-3 months...
I prefer my mesmer
VGJustice
I deleted my second character, a Mo/E, and she had gotten up to Drok's the hard way, with no skiped missions. Only recently did I see the error of my ways and remade the character as a Mo/R. She has now completed the game.

I've deleted and started over many sub-lvl10 characters, but I have a hard time letting go of the higher level characters. I have a W/Mo20 that is almost ascended, but I don't really like the warrior gamestyle anymore, I like playing support characters more. I'm tempted to replace her with a necro, but I think I'll just wait for factions and make one ritualist and one necromancer.
Silent Kitty
I have deleted about as many as one can imagine. I just recently deleted an E/r and a W/mo, both lvl 20. Didn't like them. I am not attached to my chars, because I find it very hard to play anything but monk.

Nopes never will cause the ones I made, were made if careful thought. If one got deleted it would be like part of the family died.
Poison Ivy
Deleted 2 Chars.
R/Me and Mo/W
Hated their names...and my Ranger looked aweful.

d4nowar
I've deleted Two 20's. First character, Keyboard Commando (R/Mo), because he wasn't getting any playing time and I needed the slot to try out some new things... made a W/Mo ^^. Then I deleted my Me/Mo named Man Man Man Man Man because mesmer primaries are pointless in pve imo to make a N/Me.
Currently have W/Mo, Mo/x, and N/Me::Mo
Pvp slot ftw.

Sagaris
I deleted my E/Mo, that was the character I started with... he just ascended at the time, but... he was boring. I don't really like the ele part. I made a ranger, which I totally love. My main character now. 
Ogg
I've deleted my ranger and ele, which had done everything in the game... Several hundred hours for each.
Ele was painful to play in pve, and ranger just didn't work out.. But I got lots of unlocks with them.
These days I have n/x, m/x and w/x. Each has all the primary skills, and several secondary profession skills. Oh and pvp-slot, which I used for factions char, and now released it to pvp, once more.

Woutsie
I made a trapper and deleted her after 30-40 hours. Constantly trapping UW was boring
skyes
ive deleted my war 55 monk ranger .. actually ive deleted every char on both my accs at least 2-3 times. they got boring and i wanted to rm with new names. only thing that makes me unhappy they all had 15k armor dyed black ><
Shattered_Glass

i also then exp. salvaged his fow, he had over 1200 hours and the masssive skillpoints came from the pre uw nerf= prot bond days.

Keeper of Birds
I deleted my mesmer after finishing Hells with him and capping all the me elites. Somehow mesmer just didn't fit my playing style. Maybe 100 hours on him.
My Warrior, with over 700k xp would be gone in a heartbeat, but he has my precious pumpkin head.

Katari
I've deleted 3 rangers, 2 necros, 1 monk, 1 warrior, 2 mesmers, 1 ele. The majority of them had reached the fire chain islands without being run anywhere. I need more character slots.
darkMishkin
I just did some quick maths using '/age': My 3 remaining characters have only 415 hours between them, out of my game total 964. This means 57% of my time and effort in this game has been deleted due to the limit on character slots.
jackie
Deleted my necro lvl 20 with two 15k armour sets and tons of gold spent to her and all missions done to make space for one PvP slot. Made a fortune with her though and it was fun to play but eventually it got little boring and from group of Warrior, Monk, Elementalist & Necromancer that was the choice I made...
Willy Rockwell
When I had to delete a char I was fond of, I had him stand on the steps at Piken Square and make a speech. Then he took off all his armor and said goodbye and.....was deleted.
boxterduke
I've deleted a couple of characters here and there but ones that I finished the game with will forever live.
I get too attached and do not have the heart to delete them.
I always regret the name of my necro and would love the opportunity to rename him but there is no way that I will delete him and start from scratch.

Lord Omnipata
I'd buy another copy of the game before deleting any of my high level characters. Simply too much time/effort invested in getting a toon through the game.
Burakus Lightwing
I never really paid attention to the amount of time spent playing these but I have deleted a few. My 1st was E/mo that I played to somewhere between lvl 13-15 then deleted. Then I had a Mo/me that I played to lvl 16-17 and got rid of. As of Right now I have a N/mo that's lvl 12 and I'm thinking about deleting that one to go back to a Mo/me or E/mo. I have two accounts and 6 characters over those accounts so I have a pretty diverse group to play with anyway.
Why did I delete them?
1. E/Mo was on my brothers' account, so once I bought my own copy of the game he was gone. Still one of my favorite combos though.
2. Mo/Me - I actually really enjoyed playing this character as a smite + illusion/domination. I would go healer now and then but at the time it just wasn't fun for me to be the healer. Anytime I got in a group I was expected to heal and really just wanted to play as a damage dealer so by lvl 16-17 I had enough and deleted for a R/Me instead.
3. N/mo - ehh, it's ok I'm not to into it. I don't want to be a MM, it's not for me, just thought I tried the combo to see if I could do a blood/heal combo. It's ok, but I find myself making minions anyway and that's not what I'm interested in doing. So I may give the healing thing another shot with a monk. I've tried to brush up on some healing in PvP and I'm thinking it shouldn't be much more difficult now in PvE.

I just deleted & then remade 6 characters accross two accounts and before that i deleted a total
of 6 characters too! All fully ascended and completely completed the game for good measure!
Deleted them because i wanted a fresh start with all of them basicaly, i get to
gain all the wasted skill points i used all that time ago and get a fresh start on
all of my characters, new names for some, new armour/s, experience and so on!
Grand total of 2000+ hours atleast i can imagine, i fancied spending the new
found spare time i've recently come accross on playing guildwars and getting
my characters all the way through the game once again, it's been the best
few weeks of playing guildwars to be honest.
The ammount of un'complete characters i've deleted is unimaginable to be
honest so i wont even get started on that, but you probably get the idea.
And even though i've spent all that time playing, i've still yet to find time to make
myself a mesmer! i've tried them all exept mesmer,
So coming soon i guess!...

I deleted my first character, a R/E. Played with that one for around 150 hours, used him as a trapper, interrupter, and beast master. Finished the storyline with him, even. But once I started playing my next 2 characters (W/X and Mo/R), playing him became rather ho-hum. I deleted him to make room for a Me/N so I could have a taste of every profession. I love playing my Mesmer, even though lately I haven't been playing her much.
Edit: The story of my ranger's untimely demise: One day late in the fall, while out questing with his pet bear Monte, they were fighting a particularly nasty group of critters. Since it was the time of year when hyperphasia (extreme hunger where bears will eat anything in sight getting ready for hibernation) set in on the bears, Monte's blood lust was & rage were at such a high point, that after they finished off the mob, he turned on his master and ate him. So if you'e wandering the southern Shiverpeaks, beware! For Monte is said to be wandering around endlessly seeking out victims to gratify his newfound taste for manflesh!

Beorn Trollslayer
I have done that alot. I'm sure everyone has at one point or another. I went through the whole "trying out every character to see what their dance looks like" phase. But I also logged in about 20 hours into a Warrior/Monk, he had only gotten to lvl 13, then I decided I'd rather have an axe than a hammer, deleted him, and remade him into a Warrior/Ranger with an axe. Both of them were called Beorn Trollslayer .

Two months ago I deleted both of my level 20 characters, one of which had been with me since the start of the game, and both had completed everything, when we added a second computer and account to our household. One of us had to start over in order to play together, and since I actually enjoy redoing quests and missions, and the hubby doesn't, it was kind of a given that it would be me. It hurt, especially starting from scratch on XP again.
