# Delete User

> How to delete a user from the self-hosted Coolify instance.

This guide will show you how to delete a user from the self-hosted Coolify instance.

<Warning>
  If you delete a user, and Coolify still has connection to the servers, it will
  delete all the resources on the servers as well, not just from Coolify's
  database.
</Warning>

Only users who are in the `root` team can delete users from the UI.

* Go to the `Team` page.
* Switch to `Admin View` tab.

Here you can see all the users registered in Coolify. Click on the `Delete` button next to the user you want to delete.
