# Delete User

> Understand why user deletion is not exposed through client SDK user operations.

Client SDKs do not expose a public method to delete a user. Treat user deletion as a privileged admin or backend workflow, not as a client-side SDK operation.

> [!CAUTION]
>
> Do not put user deletion credentials or privileged deletion flows in a client app.

## SDK Availability

| Surface | Availability |
| - | - |
| TypeScript SDK | No public delete-user method |
| iOS SDK | No public delete-user method |
| Android SDK | No public delete-user method |
| Flutter SDK | No public delete-user method |
| Admin/API workflow | Use the Console or a backend-controlled API integration. |

## Recommended Workflow

**1. Authorize the request**

Verify the requester is allowed to delete or deactivate the user account.

**2. Run deletion from a trusted backend**

Keep API credentials and audit logging outside the client app.

**3. Refresh SDK-powered surfaces**

Refresh user lists, member lists, profile views, and moderation tools after the backend operation completes.

**4. Handle deleted-user state**

SDK query results may expose deleted-user state such as `isDeleted`; make your UI resilient to missing names or avatars.

## Alternatives

| Approach | Use when |
| - | - |
| Suspend or ban user | You need to block access without permanently deleting account data. |
| Remove or moderate content | The issue is content-specific rather than account-specific. |
| Hide user locally | You need a product-level visibility rule before a backend account decision is made. |
