Through my droplet console I can add additional users, reset current user passwords, and upgrade element. These are all achieved through a bash script but I am unable to delete users.

Heya @5a7a4fd77cfb48d78cbaa18641610a,
To delete a user, you actually ‘deactivate’ them via the API. This prevents the user from logging in and removes them from all rooms.
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"erase": true}' "https://[your_matrix_server]/_synapse/admin/v1/deactivate/@username:domain"
.[YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]
with your admin user’s access token,[your_matrix_server]
with your server’s URL, and@username:domain
with the full Matrix ID of the user you want to deactivate."erase": true
part ensures that the user’s data is also erased, not just deactivated.
