This is called integration, although it's rarer in tulpamancy than in disorderly plurality

You can, although it's wishy-washy stuff you'd have to figure out/do on your own as opposed to following a guide or something

This is called dissipation, effectively just deciding you will not think about them (and/or not think of them as tulpas/separate people) anymore, causing the mental wiring that makes them up to weaken over time from disuse

Though people often use some sort of symbolism/imagined way of doing it more decisively

 

It's discouraged in the community to be done without serious consideration and good reason, obviously, but if your tulpas are making your life worse somehow then it can be done

You're implying having tulpas makes you incomplete, which isn't true. A tulpa shares your brain, but they aren't split off from you as a person. They're a new being that exists alongside you.

 

Reisen answered the other questions well, though you can't "uncreate" a tulpa. As long as you remember them, they can technically come back.

Think you could do it with unwanted alters?

I'm just looking for alternatives for people who have unwanted alters

You can integrate, but I don't know if there's a guide on it or if a guide for integrating with tulpas would even help someone with DID/OSDD. I think disordered systems that integrate usually do it with the help of a therapist.
