How can I correctly delete a player account ?,How can I correctly delete a player so that he can reuse the email to sign up again in the game ?

I have tried deleting a player by deleting the player title and/or player master. The objective is to reuse those email accounts for testing. But the emails can't be used for signup afterwards and they are ptractically blocked. How can I correctly delete a plauyer so that the email is reusable ? Thanks.

I have tested deleting a few email accounts by deleting the title player and/or the master player. The user cannot be found in Playfab afterwards. But the email can't be reused to sign up again. How can I correctly delete a user so that his email account can be reused if needed ? While testing, all these deleted emails are practically blocked.

@Adela Barbulescu Deleting a Master Player can take some time, sometimes up to a few days. If you want to use the same login method for a new player (email, ID, etc), you need to un-link it before you delete the Player.

Hi, what is the best way to do this? ie: to remove the email address, should that be done from the code within our game as a client API request, or should it be done with the server JS code (in cloud script)?

Simply deleting the Master Player Account will make those login identities like email re-usable. It cannot be done via classic cloud script because Admin API is not supported. Meanwhile you may implement it in Azure Function.

Ok thank you. So how would we do that via Azure function.. simply? I really appreciate the quick reply but any additional details about how to do something as simple as allowing a player to remove their account would be great to know. It's hard for all users to understand what "Azure function" means :)
