account deletion
Permanent user removal
Account deletion is the permanent removal of a user's account from a digital service or platform, along with associated data, settings, and history.
The process typically requires verification and may involve a waiting period before becoming irreversible: I requested account deletion but had 30 days to change my mind.
Distinguished from deactivation, which is temporary and reversible.
