How to delete user accounts in asp.net?

Question

I have a Register page, I used the following Walkthrough: Creating a Web Site with Membership and User Login to make my webpage. The problem is the Registration page creates users, but I am clueless about how to delete user accounts from the Database where it gets stored.

Answer 1

The membership provider has a DeleteUser method.

The following works just as well:

Membership.DeleteUser("username");

Answer 2

Here is a simpler way to delete a user using SQL.

USE ASPNet
GO

DECLARE @UserId uniqueidentifier
SET @UserId = 'THE GUID OF THE USER HERE'

DELETE FROM aspnet_Profile WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_UsersInRoles WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM dbo.aspnet_Membership WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_users WHERE UserID = @UserId

Answer 3

For the completeness' sake, here is a solution similar to Yasser's, however, with using the UserName instead of the GUID as the OP has asked:

DECLARE @UserId uniqueidentifier
SET @UserId = (SELECT TOP(1) UserID FROM aspnet_Users 
  WHERE UserName = 'THE USERNAME OF THE USER HERE')

DELETE FROM aspnet_Profile WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_UsersInRoles WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM dbo.aspnet_Membership WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_users WHERE UserID = @UserId

On your project (Visual Studio) Top menu > Website > ASP.NET Configurations (Click on this)

It will open the configurations and then Security > Manage Users Do what you need there...

Answer 5

When creating a WebSite that is going to have a Membership manage users and roles, create an Admin/Support Web Page within your site that will be only visible available for Roles that can perform such operations as:

• Delete User
• Reset Password
• Other Users management

It will come in handy when you have to support your End Users and the problems they are going to face.
