can I close my Lichess account to create a new account?
Do or do not. There is no try.
All your ratings are provisional, and you want to start over yet again?
I Wont edit Nikname , Therefore, I want to close my account to create a new one with a different name.
well then go ahead, although I feel changing your name is among the cheaper reasons to close an account
From TOS
"
Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one "public" account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one "private" account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing "blindfold" games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment. Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically any more than three) will generally not be allowed, regardless of reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts will also be treated as contributing to this maximum number. As with all other rules, the specific circumstances where multiple accounts are allowed remain at Lichess' discretion.

So it is violation of TOS to open multiple accounts

ok so it seems namechanging is officially not recognized as a proper reason
Try or try not. There is no do.
Exactly. No point in changing an account. It is not correct and is not use full.
