Deleting my author program and all my books

If you want to delete your Goodreads Author account you will have to contact staff, but the book records (as MrsJoseph said, they are not actual books) will not be deleted.
If you accidentally uploaded the entire book in the excerpts feature, you should be able to delete the excerpt. If you cannot, just contact staff and they'll delete the excerpt for you (librarians can't help with that -- you can email staff at support@goodreads.com or use contact form under help screens).You might be able to unclaim your author profile by contacting staff -- but the author profile would still stay on goodreads because the books were published works.
If your books have been pulled from publication or are out of print (no longer available for sale), a librarian can note that for you in the book description.
ETA: the above was start of my original post; I deleted later more explanatory text (about book itself versus published book data) in light of Rivka's later comment. Sufficient to say to contact staff.

GR isn't a bookseller nor does it keep physical/digital copies of your work(s). It's more along the line of a book catalog and/or library listing. Therefore, if these books were ever published, they more than likely will not be removed from the GR database.
It would not be considered a copyright issue as GR is not disseminating your work.
