ory delete identity

ory delete identity​

Delete one or more identities by their ID(s)

Synopsis​

This command deletes one or more identities by ID. To delete an identity by some selector, e.g. the recovery email address, use the list command in combination with jq.

We have to admit, this is not easy if you don't speak jq fluently. What about opening an issue and telling us what predefined selectors you want to have? https://github.com/ory/kratos/issues/new/choose

ory delete identity id-0 [id-1] [id-2] [id-n] [flags]

Examples​

To delete the identity with the recovery email address "[email protected]", run:

	ory delete identity $(ory list identities --format json | jq -r 'map(select(.recovery_addresses[].value == "[email protected]")) | .[].id')

Options​

      --format string      Set the output format. One of table, json, yaml, json-pretty, jsonpath and jsonpointer. (default "table")
  -h, --help               help for identity
      --project string     The project to use, either project ID or a (partial) slug.
  -q, --quiet              Be quiet with output printing.
