Delete a user profile you are the owner of. The Profile Key in the header parameter is the User Profile to be deleted.

<Warning>
  Deleting a user profile permanently removes the profile and all associated posts—this action is
  irreversible and cannot be undone. You can delete up to 8 user profiles per second, so please
  stagger your API calls when performing bulk deletions to stay within rate limits.
</Warning>

## Header Parameters

<HeaderAPI profileKeyRequired={true} />

## Body Parameters

<ParamField body="title" type="string" default="0" required>
  Title of the User Profile to delete. Must be present if `profileKey` is not passed. `title` is
  case-sensitive and must match the User Profile title.
</ParamField>
