Introduction

As a DirectAdmin administrator, you may need to delete user accounts to free up resources, remove inactive users, or for security purposes. This guide provides a clear step-by-step process for deleting a user account in DirectAdmin using the Enhance Skin. Before proceeding, be aware that deleting a user account is a permanent action, and all associated data will be lost.

 

Prerequisites

  • DirectAdmin access with admin-level permissions.
  • Correct DirectAdmin admin credentials (username and password).

 

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Log into DirectAdmin with Admin-Level Credentials

  • Open the DirectAdmin portal in your web browser.
  • Enter your DirectAdmin username and password with admin-level access.

 

Step 2: Access the Account Manager Section

  • After logging in, you will be redirected to the admin dashboard.
  • Locate and click on Show All Users, typically found on the main dashboard or sidebar.

 

 

Step 3: Find the User Account

  • A list of all user accounts will appear in the Show All Users section.
  • At the left top of the portal, click the Delete a User option.

 

 

Step 4: Delete User Account

Important Warnings:
Permanent Deletion: Deleting a user account cannot be undone. All associated data, including emails, databases, websites, and files, will be permanently removed.
Backup Recommendation: Before deleting a user, ensure that all important data is backed up if necessary. You can create a full account backup from DirectAdmin before proceeding.
Impact on Hosting & Services: If the user owns hosting services, deleting their account will remove all hosted websites, databases, and settings. Verify whether these need to be transferred before deletion.
  • Insert Username that you want to delete and click Submit.

 

  • A confirmation pop-up message will appear, indicating that the user account has been deleted. You will see that the deleted user will no longer appear in the Show All Users list.

 

Conclusion

Deleting a user account in DirectAdmin (EnhanceSkin) is a straightforward process but should be performed with caution due to its irreversible nature. Always double-check before proceeding and ensure that critical data is backed up if needed. By following this guide, you can safely and effectively remove inactive or unnecessary accounts from your DirectAdmin system.
