Deleting a user is a sensitive action that must be taken with caution. It's reversible but it will require a manual process to restore the user.
The platform will not allow you to delete a user if they have pending transactions or a positive balance.
In case of a positive balance, you must ask the user to withdraw their funds before proceeding with the deletion.
If a deposit is received to an account of a deleted user, the funds will be kept captive and a manual process to release them will be required.
