It appears I was successful in leaving LinkedIn. I sent an email to all the addresses in Treadders' first link and also filled out the contact form I linked to in my post. Thanks Treadders !
I received an email with this message :
We're sorry to see you go
Your LinkedIn account is now closed. Although you no longer have access to it, it'll take a few weeks for your public profile to disappear from search engines.
You may still receive invitations from LinkedIn members and groups.
You may reactivate your account within 14 days from today by signing back in, or if you wish to reactivate within the next 48 hours, you may use this link:

Note: If you purchased your Premium subscription via Apple, you must also cancel the subscription directly with Apple to prevent future billing.
If you signed up for LinkedIn using login credentials from a third party provider (such as Gmail, Facebook, or Apple), please be sure to unlink your account from LinkedIn via the third party’s site.
