As you own your account - your key - this is easy. Just delete it. But I assume you also want to delete all your notes and especially your profile data from the relays.
As Nostr is decentralized this is not easy. And there may also be relays that do not support event deletion.
I'm also not aware of a client supporting mass deletion of notes. And even clients capable of deleting single notes are rare. I currently only know https://nostrudel.ninja. There open your profile, switch to notes, also activate to show replies in that tab. Then you have to open the context menu - the three little dots on the side - on every single note you ever wrote and select delete. 🥴
Although it is technically possible to also delete the notes with your profile information, I do not know of an easy to use client to do that. The simplest way would be to edit your profile and replace all personal data with "anonymous", leave links to avatar and background pictures empty. There will be older notes staying for a while in Nostr containing the previous data, though.
And there are also media you posted. Where these are stored depends on the client and it's setting you used to post these. If you want to delete them, you maybe have to contact the people running these file upload services and ask for deletion. If you try that, do not delete your notes first, they may be useful to convince service operators that the files have been uploaded by you.
To sum it up: It is not easy and there is no guarantee that you reach all relays to delete all your content.
And there should be a tool to do it with a few clicks. And looking at all that on the contrary: One does not own a Nostr account. 😞
