# Purge User

`DELETE /api/admin/users/{user_id}`

Hard delete a user and every trace of their data.

Physically removes the user row, cascades to OSS data (sessions,
messages, channels, media, memory, heartbeats), drops multi-user rows
(subscription, quotas, archived usage), and clears on-disk data.
The user can re-onboard cleanly with the same identity afterwards.
