# Deleting a user account

## Introduction

If you are a user with an [administrator or manager role](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary), you can choose to remove another user account from your company profile.

When a user is removed, their account becomes inactive, and they can no longer log in to the dashboard. If required, a deleted user account can be [restored](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/restoring-a-deleted-user-account).&#x20;

## The steps

{% step %}
**Access** **the required user**

[Access the user list for your company profile](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/viewing-all-users-for-your-company-profile), then click the name of the user you want to remove. For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2Fz3ee1YRb8vKcz8j9T3bY%2Fdelete%20user%201.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a8a82a71-5e93-44ed-bc50-471919279af7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Delete the user**

Click the delete icon (trash) at the top of the user profile page. For example:

<figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2FGguCeC9KsGsiwqmLjppU%2Fdelete%20user%202.png?alt=media&#x26;token=25ff5846-3206-42fc-bf84-f64f55c66328" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When prompted, confirm that you want to proceed. For example:

<figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2Fb36T4TEfYbMmdlxSQM0j%2Fdelete%20user%203.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d2207ede-361f-4fe2-8fc3-ed510ad27ad4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Delete the user**

The user is removed, and you're returned to the user list. Here, you'll see that this user is associated with a `restore` option, so this account can be [reactivated](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/restoring-a-deleted-user-account) if needed. For example:

<figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2FZSdSfqkPaS9IdkiBVgvZ%2Fdelete%20user%204a.png?alt=media&#x26;token=920c31f2-5587-4732-9b9f-2f8b0361dc87" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
