Delete a user

Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the influx command line interface (CLI) to delete a user.

Deleting a user removes them completely from InfluxDB. To remove a user from an organization without deleting the user entirely, see Remove a member from an organization.

Delete a user from the InfluxDB UI

Users cannot be deleted from the InfluxDB UI.

Delete a user using the influx CLI

Use the influx user delete command to delete a user. Provide the following:

• An operator token using your influx CLI connection configuration, INFLUX_TOKEN environment variable, or the --token, -t flag.
• The user ID (provided in the output of influx user list)

1. influx user delete --id USER_ID

Replace USER_ID with the ID of the user to delete.
