# Confirm Account Deletion

> Verify the emailed code and permanently delete the authenticated user's account

Completes the self-service account-deletion flow. Verifies the one-time code sent by the [Request Account Deletion](/api-reference/auth/request-account-deletion) endpoint and, on a match, **permanently deletes** the authenticated user's account.

Requires a valid user access token. The cascade is identical to the service-key [Delete User](/api-reference/users/delete-user) endpoint: reactions, files, follows, connections, collections, reports, mentions, notifications, and embeddings are removed, while the user's entities and comments are preserved as hollow shells (their `userId`, content, and attachments cleared) to keep threads intact.

<Warning>
  Deletion is **immediate and irreversible**. There is no grace period and no
  recovery once this endpoint returns `204`.
</Warning>

## Body Parameters

<ParamField body="code" type="string" required>
  The one-time confirmation code from the deletion email. Must match the most recently issued code exactly.
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns `204 No Content` on success. The user and their session tokens no longer exist after this call.

## Error Codes

| Code                           | Status | Description                                                                |
| ------------------------------ | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `auth/invalid-or-expired-code` | 400    | The code does not match, was never issued, or has expired (10-minute TTL). |
| `user/not-found`               | 404    | The authenticated user no longer exists.                                   |
| `user/delete-failed`           | 404    | The user could not be deleted (not found or already deleted).              |

<Note>
  The confirmation code is single-use — it is consumed once deletion succeeds,
  so it cannot be replayed. If deletion fails with a server error, the code is
  left in place so you can retry until it expires (10-minute TTL).
</Note>
