Delete Account Button

Add a confirmed account-deletion action to account settings

  • Stable unknown
  • Release candidate since 1.16.1-rc.3
  • Development since 1.16.1-dev.2111+9796905

DeleteAccountButton adds a confirmation step before requesting account deletion. The current implementation sends a full-wipe request with a 30-day schedule, then clears the active local login when cleanup succeeds.

Add the action

import { DeleteAccountButton } from "@ovok/native";
import { useRouter } from "expo-router";
import { Alert } from "react-native";

export function AccountActions() {
  const router = useRouter();

  return (
    <DeleteAccountButton
      title="Delete account"
      onSuccess={() => router.replace("/sign-in")}
      onError={() =>
        Alert.alert(
          "Couldn't complete the request",
          "Try again or contact support.",
        )
      }
    />
  );
}

Render the control below OvokProvider and the SDK ThemeProvider. The SDK supplies a confirmation modal with cancel and delete actions. onPress runs when the modal opens, before the user confirms.

What confirmation does

The SDK calls requestDeleteUser({ days: 30, wipe: true }). After the server accepts that request, the component clears the active login, signs out of Google when needed, notifies mounted session hooks, and calls onSuccess when cleanup finishes.

onError can mean the deletion request failed, or that a later local cleanup step failed after the server accepted the request. Do not treat the callback alone as proof that deletion was rejected. The dialog closes after either outcome.

Before exposing this action, align the confirmation copy and support path with your product and backend deletion policy. The SDK does not provide an undo operation or decide what account-deletion policy applies.
