+# Delete macOS local user accounts with Fleet
+
+The recommended method for deleting local user accounts on macOS is to use `dscl`, such as `dscl . -delete /Users/testing`, or `sysadminctl`, such as `sysadminctl -deleteUser testing -secure`.
+
+To use these commands with scripts in Fleet, `fleetd` (the Fleet agent that runs scripts from Fleet) requires full disk access permissions to delete users. Grant full disk access to `fleetd` using our [configuration profile](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/solutions/macos/configuration-profiles/allow-fleetd-full-disk-access.mobileconfig).
+
+Once that profile has been installed on the device, `dscl . -delete` and `sysadminctl -deleteUser` will work. `dscl` won't show any output, but `sysadminctl` output will look like this:
+
+```
+2026-02-17 16:33:59.516 sysadminctl[1558:31022] Killing all processes for UID 502
+2026-02-17 16:33:59.518 sysadminctl[1558:31022] Securely removing testing's home at /Users/testing
+2026-02-17 16:33:59.562 sysadminctl[1558:31022] Deleting Public share point for testing
+2026-02-17 16:33:59.602 sysadminctl[1558:31022] Deleting record for testing
+2026-02-17 16:33:59.606 sysadminctl[1558:31022] AOSKit INFO: Disabling BTMM for user, no zone found for uid=502, usersToZones: (null)
+```
+
+Otherwise, if you try running these commands without approving full disk access for `fleetd`, `dscl` will output this error:
+
+```
+<main> delete status: eDSPermissionError
+<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14120 (eDSPermissionError)
+
+script execution error: exit status 40
+```
+
+`sysadminctl` will output an error too:
+
+```
+2026-02-17 16:30:59.669 sysadminctl[1488:28502] Killing all processes for UID 502

+```
+
+This deletes the user's home folder, but the account isn't fully removed. This can be confirmed in the Users & Groups pane of System Settings. Granting full disk access to `fleetd` before running these commands will result in a fully removed account though.
