# Delete an existing user

### **Deleting a user**

To delete a user, first select the checkbox next to the desired user—in this case, "Lio Blanco." Then, click the **Delete** button located in the top action bar. This triggers the deletion process, which typically includes a confirmation prompt to avoid accidental removal. This step ensures that user data is only deleted intentionally and by authorized administrators.

### **Confirming deletion**

Upon initiating the delete action, a confirmation dialog appears prompting the user to re-enter the email address of the account to be deleted. This extra step acts as a security measure to prevent unintended deletions. After typing the correct email, click the red **Delete** button.

### **Document transfer confirmation**

Before permanently deleting the user, the system prompts whether to transfer the user's documents to another account. Selecting **Yes** will initiate a reassignment process, while choosing **No** means the documents will remain under the system administrator's account, ensuring that no data is lost. This safeguard helps maintain document integrity even after user removal.

### **Successful user deletion confirmation**

Upon finalizing the deletion process, a confirmation message appears on the top-right corner of the screen, indicating that the user was successfully deleted. Additionally, a second notification informs that the deletion process is being executed in the background, and a further alert will confirm its full completion. This ensures administrators are kept informed and the system remains responsive.
