Best Practices

1

Verify the User ID

Before deleting, retrieve the user with GET /api/v1/users/ to confirm you have the correct user.
2

Consider Data Dependencies

Check if the user has associated data (workouts, connections, etc.) that may also need to be handled.
3

Implement Confirmation

In your application, require user confirmation before calling this endpoint to prevent accidental deletions.
4

Log Deletion Events

Maintain audit logs of user deletions for compliance and troubleshooting purposes.
