# Deleting a User Account
|
||||
|
||||
- As a user, you can delete your own account by navigating to **Settings** > **Account** and selecting **Delete account**
|
||||
- As an admin, you can delete a user account by navigating to the **Admin Area**, selecting the **Users** tab, selecting a user, and clicking on **Remvoe user**
|
||||
|
||||
## Associated Records
|
||||
|
||||
> Introduced for issues in [GitLab 9.0][ce-7393], and for merge requests, award emoji, notes, and abuse reports in [GitLab 9.1][ce-10467].
|
||||
|
||||
When a user account is deleted, not all associated records are deleted with it. Here's a list of things that will not be deleted:
|
||||
|
||||
- Issues that the user created
|
||||
- Merge requests that the user created
|
||||
- Notes that the user created
|
||||
- Abuse reports that the user reported
|
||||
- Award emoji that the user craeted
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of being deleted, these records will be moved to a system-wide "Ghost User", whose sole purpose is to act as a container for such records.
