Remove a user

Delete someone's account, either after a 14-day grace period that can be cancelled, or immediately.

  1. In Admin, open Users and click the person.
  2. Under Danger zone, click Request deletion (14-day grace).
  3. Click Schedule deletion.

The account shows Pending deletion and the user is notified. They can cancel it from their own account at any point in the 14 days, and so can you. After that, the account is removed for good.

Cancel a scheduled deletion

Open the user and click Cancel deletion. The account stays active.

Delete an account immediately

  1. Under Danger zone, click Delete permanently.
  2. Type the user's email address to confirm, then click Delete permanently.

The account and its data are removed at once, with no grace period. This can't be undone.

Good to know:

  • You can't delete your own account from Admin; see Delete your account.
  • Admin has no way to suspend an account without deleting it.
