Your account

Delete account

Permanently delete your SlugBase user account, what is removed, and how confirmation works.

What this is for

You can permanently delete your account from the Profile page. That removes your user record and associated data from this SlugBase instance (subject to how the server and database enforce cascades). This action is irreversible from the product’s perspective—you should export anything you need first.

Before you start

You must be signed in.
Some deployments attach an extra check before the delete dialog. If deletion is blocked, you may see You cannot delete your account. Transfer ownership or resolve billing first. or another message from the operator. Stock self-hosted core does not show that guard unless the deployment wires one in.

The in-app Danger zone copy warns: Permanently delete your account and all your data. This action cannot be undone. The confirmation dialog adds: Are you sure you want to delete your account? All your bookmarks, folders, tags, and data will be permanently deleted. This cannot be undone.

Delete your account

Open Profile

From the top bar user menu, choose Profile.

Open Danger zone

Scroll to Danger zone. The section description is Irreversible actions. These cannot be undone.

Start deletion

Select Delete my account.

Confirm

In the confirmation dialog, confirm again. The primary action uses the same label Delete my account.

After a successful deletion, the app shows Your account has been deleted., signs you out, and sends you to the login screen.

What happens on the server

The client calls DELETE /api/users/me while you are authenticated. The server deletes your user row and clears the auth cookie in the response so the browser session ends. Related rows (for example API tokens, team memberships, and other data tied to your user) are removed according to the database’s foreign-key rules for that installation.

Exact retention or backups depend on your hosting and database practices. The app does not replace your own backup or recovery policy.

If you cannot delete

Blocked by policy: If the message mentions ownership or billing, follow what it says or ask your organization admin.
Other errors: Read the toast or error text; retry after fixing the stated problem or contact your instance administrator.

Import and export
