If you're looking for the Hosted Login v1 version of this screen, see Account Marked for Deletion v1.

When a user clicks the Delete My Account button on the manageProfile_privacy screen, that user is first prompted to confirm that they really do want to delete their account:

If the user clicks OK, the deleteAccountSuccess screen is displayed. There are at least two things to note about this screen:

• Similar to the requestDataSuccess) screen, the deleteAccountSuccess screen does not automatically disappear after a few seconds. Instead, the user needs to navigate away from the screen.

• Clicking the Delete My Account button does not actually delete the user account. Instead, a datetime value is written to the accountDeleteRequestTime attribute in the user’s user profile:

Organizations should periodically query the user profile store (or perhaps use webhook notifications) to check for users who have requested that their accounts be deleted; organizations are also responsible for deleting the account. Until an organization deletes the account the account remains  valid, and the user can continue to sign in by using that account.
