How to Close Your Account

Closing your account permanently deletes your user account and associated data. This action is usually irreversible.

In the app (UI)​

  1. Log in and go to Settings (e.g. profile menu → Settings).
  2. In the sidebar, click Close account (or “Delete account” / “Deactivate account”).
  3. Read the warning and any confirmation steps (e.g. re-enter password, type “DELETE”).
  4. Confirm that you want to close your account. After confirmation, you will be signed out and your account and data will be removed.

Via the API​

The frontend calls:

DELETE /api/Authentication/close-account
Authorization: Bearer {token}

A successful response is followed by clearing the local auth state and redirecting to login or home. The server permanently deletes (or anonymizes) the user and related data according to backend policy.

Important​

  • Back up any data you need before closing your account.
  • Irreversible: Once the account is closed, it typically cannot be restored.
  • If your instance uses deactivate instead of delete, the account may be recoverable for a limited time; check in-app text or admin docs.
