Yes, Ory provides an API for deleting user accounts. This feature allows for the implementation of a storage limitation on a user's personal data, which is a requirement for GDPR compliance. However, the actual initiation of the account deletion would depend on how the application using Ory is set up. The application would need to provide a user interface or some other method for the user to trigger the account deletion process. Here is the relevant extract from the knowledge sources: "Storage limitation | Ory provides an API for deleting user accounts and, by default, records the date and time of account creation, which makes it possible to implement a storage limitation on a user's personal data."

To allow a user to delete their account in your React application using the Ory SDK, you would need to call the

deleteIdentity

method from the Identity API. Here is an example of how you could implement this in TypeScript:

typescript import { Configuration, IdentityApi } from "@ory/client"  const identity = new IdentityApi(   new Configuration({     basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,     accessToken: `${process.env.ORY_ACCESS_TOKEN}`,   }), )  export async function deleteUserAccount(identityId: string) {   return await identity.deleteIdentity({     id: identityId,   }) }

In this example,

identityId

is the ID of the user's identity that you want to delete. You would need to replace

${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}

and

${process.env.ORY_ACCESS_TOKEN}

with your actual Ory project slug and access token. Please note that this operation requires authentication with an

oryAccessToken

. Source: [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api)

To initiate a flow with the FrontendApi in your React application, you can use the methods provided by the FrontendApi class. Here are some examples: 1. Login Flow:

javascript import { Configuration, FrontendApi } from "@ory/client"  const frontend = new FrontendApi(   new Configuration({     basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,   }), )  export async function createLogin() {   return await frontend.createNativeLoginFlow() }

2. Registration Flow:

javascript export async function createRegistration() {   return await frontend.createNativeRegistrationFlow() }

3. Recovery Flow:

javascript export async function createRecovery() {   return await frontend.createNativeRecoveryFlow() }

4. Verification Flow:

javascript export async function createVerification() {   return await frontend.createNativeVerificationFlow() }

In these examples, replace

${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}

with your actual Ory project slug.

I'm sorry, but based on the provided knowledge sources, Ory's FrontendApi does not provide a direct method to initiate a user account deletion flow. The FrontendApi includes methods for initiating login, registration, recovery, and verification flows, but not for deleting a user account. However, you can implement account deletion in your application by using the Admin API's deleteIdentity method, as mentioned in a previous response. This would involve making a request to the Admin API from your server, rather than directly from the frontend of your application. If you need more information on how to implement this, I would recommend checking the [Ory Kratos documentation](https://www.ory.sh/kratos/docs/) for more details.
