Delete / disable user account (backend) #89

Closed

Description

@Golden-Eagle07

Allow users to permanently delete or temporarily disable their account.

Backend

  • POST /api/users/me/delete – permanently deletes account and all associated data (messages, tokens, files)
  • POST /api/users/me/disable – disables the account (user can re‑activate later)
  • Handle cleanup: remove from groups, notify contacts (optional), schedule data removal

Make sure the process is irreversible for deletion and that data protection is respected.

    Shipped in #168 (released in v0.3.2): DELETE /api/users/me. It removes the user, and ON DELETE CASCADE cleans up their messages, memberships, devices, prekeys, tokens and verifications.
