# Delete User

> Submits a request for user account closure

This endpoint submits a request for account closure for the currently
authenticated user. The Thanx support team will review the request and interface
directly with that user to complete account closure. This endpoint optionally
accepts additional user input, though none is required. For non-production
environments, the API request will succeed but no support ticket will be filed.

For custom app builds, this endpoint can be used in conjunction with a custom
form to satisfy
[Apple](https://developer.apple.com/support/offering-account-deletion-in-your-app/)
and
[Google](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13327111?hl=en)'s
requirements for account deletion.

<Note>
  Please review proper request headers [here](/consumer/usage/headers).
