# Deleting a User

`DELETE /v1/users/{actorId}`

Upon User deletion:

* The account will be removed,

* the user will be logged out of all existing sessions,

* and should the user attempt to reset their password, they will receive an email informing them that their account has been removed.

The User record will remain on file within the database, so that when for example information about the creator of a Form or Submission is requested, basic details are still available on file. A new User account may be created with the same email address as any deleted accounts.

## Path parameters
