# Delete User

Deactivates a user from the directory by their `userId`, along with its group memberships. If the `userId` is linked to a managed Atlassian account, the account is deactivated. The user is not available for future requests until created with a new `userId`. Any future operation for the deactivated user returns the 404 (resource not found) error.

The deactivated user can be activated again via Atlassian Administration.

To deactivate the account instead, use the [Update user by ID API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-provisioning/rest/api-group-users/#api-scim-directory-directoryid-users-userid-patch). Update the `op` field to `replace` and `value` field to `active:false` within the `operations` request body.

**Note:** Executing this API call will result in the deletion of the SCIM record, and there is no method to reverse these changes except by creating a new SCIM record with [Create a user API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-provisioning/rest/api-group-users/#api-scim-directory-directoryid-users-post).
