Delete a user

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

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:

influx user delete --id 
USER_ID

Replace USER_ID with the ID of the user to delete.
