# Deactivate the user account

`DELETE https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1/user`

Part of [Users](https://www.cryptohopper.com/api-documentation/api-reference/users.md) in the Cryptohopper API reference.

Deactivates the account: all bots are disabled, the user gets an email, all web sessions are logged out and the access tokens of Cryptohopper's own apps are revoked. The account is deleted within 30 days unless the user logs in again.

OAuth scope: `user`

If deactivation fails, the endpoint still returns HTTP 200, with the message "Something went wrong trying to deactivate your account."

## Headers
