# Delete user

`DELETE /snapTrade/deleteUser`

Deletes a registered user and all associated data. This action is irreversible. This API is asynchronous and will return a 200 status code if the request is accepted. The user and all associated data will be queued for deletion. Once deleted, a `USER_DELETED` webhook will be sent.

## Query parameters

- `userId` string, required — SnapTrade User ID. This is chosen by the API partner and can be any string that is a) unique to the user, and b) immutable for the user. It is recommended to NOT use email addresses for this property because they are usually not immutable.

## Response `200`

OK

- DeleteUserResponse
  - `status` string — This is always `deleted` when a user is queued for deletion.
  - `detail` string — Human friendly message about the deletion status.
  - `userId` string — SnapTrade User ID. This is chosen by the API partner and can be any string that is a) unique to the user, and b) immutable for the user. It is recommended to NOT use email addresses for this property because they are usually not immutable.

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad Request
- `403` — Forbidden
