Hi, I want members to give the option to delete their member accounts that they have created with my website, whenever they want.

I shall appreciate if you could kindly let me know whether this is possible, if yes, then how

Provide a “delete my account” button for logged in users, and then you can use the deleteMember() API function to delete a user when a logged in user clicks the button.

This is essential.

can you show us how?

Any idea on how to set up this function, as described by Yisrael?

@yisrael-wix Hi there. I have the same question. Here’s what I have so far:

import wixUsersBackend from 'wix-users-backend';

export function deleteUser() {
 let user = wixUsersBackend.currentUser;

  wixUsersBackend.deleteUser(user .id)
    .then( () => {
 // user has been deleted
    })
    .catch( (err) => {
 // there was an error deleting the user
    });
}

$w.onReady(function () {
 
});

export function deleteAccount_click(event) {
    deleteUser();
}

“deleteAccount” is the ID of my button.
Thank you so much for your help :slight_smile:

PS: Had to add a space between user & .id, else it wouldn’t let me post :astonished:

@harryhoe01 If the code is not working, please check the Property Panel of your #deleteAccount button has ‘connected’ with the code. Sometimes if you undo something, the function does not export but the code exists.

@certified-code Thank you for your reply!
When I use the button as a “logout” button it does log out. So it seems the button connected.
But the code is correct in your opinion?

@harryhoe01 Try filling in something under the “onReady” function.

Hi everybody,

I’m new on Velo and I’m trying to create a button where a member can delete its own account (really important for RGPD issues, I don’t know why this button didn’t exist natively).

My code works well with the getMember function, I recover all information about my member. But, deleteMember doesn’t work. The log message : :“[“message: ‘’\ndetails:\n applicationError:\n description: Forbidden\n code: FORBIDDEN\n data: {}”]”

Why it’s forbidden?

Thanks a lot for your help.

// front file code

const OPTIONS = {
fieldsets : [ ‘FULL’ ]
}

$w . onReady ( function () {
});

export function button1_click ( event ) {
deleteMyCurrentMember ( OPTIONS );
}

// backend code

import { members } from ‘wix-members-backend’ ;
import { currentMember } from ‘wix-members-backend’ ;

export function deleteMyCurrentMember ( options ) {
return currentMember . getMember ( options )
. then (( member ) => {
console . log ( ‘Member recover’ , member );
return members . deleteMember ( member . _id )
. then (() => {
console . log ( ‘Member deleted’ , member . _id );
})
. catch (( error ) => {
console . error ( error );
});
})
. catch (( error ) => {
console . error ( error );
})
}

Would really love help with this too. Not really confident with code but this is a function I need on my site.

Where should I write codes in Wix and how can I connect them to a button? Thank you!
