# Delete a User Account

Leveraging Apple's [MDM framework](/v1/docs/kandji-agent-and-mdm), Kandji provides administrators the ability to delete a macOS user account. Deleting a user in this way leverages the MDM protocol, meaning that as long as the device is online, an account should be deleted near-instantly. For information on erasing devices, [see our guide here](/v1/docs/erase-a-device).

### Deleting a User Account

1. Click **Devices** from the left-hand navigation bar.
2. Select a **macOS device** from your list of devices.
3. Click the **Device Actions** button at the top right-hand side of the window.
4. Click the **Delete User Account** option from the menu. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/vka0z-eoulx-kfpcfyiwwub50krqyifcoa.png)
5. Input the full **Account Name** of the user you would like to delete.

You can check the progress of this command by going to the activity section of the device record. You can also view a list of all local users on an enrolled Mac by going to the Details tab of a device record.
