# How To Verify User Deletion in MoEngage?

> Verify that a user profile was successfully deleted from MoEngage after calling the Delete User API. Check segmentation search and API status responses.

This article explains how to verify whether a user has been successfully deleted from the MoEngage system using the **Delete User API**. Since the deletion process takes up to 24 hours, ensure the required waiting period has passed before proceeding with the verification steps.

## Instructions

1. **Wait for 24 hours**:
   * Ensure at least 24 hours have passed since submitting the delete user API request. The deletion process requires this amount of time to complete.
2. **Check the segmentation search dashboard**:
   * Obtain the **Unique ID** or **User ID** of the deleted user.
   * Go to **Segment** > **Create segment** in the MoEngage dashboard.
   * Use the search bar in the upper right corner to search for the user.
   * Perform the search using the **Unique ID** or **User ID**:
     * If the search results display the user's details, the deletion has not been completed.
     * If the search results are empty, the user has been successfully removed.
3. **Use the Get User API**:
   * Make an API call using the **Get User API** as specified in the MoEnage [Get User](https://www.moengage.com/docs/api/user/get-user) API documentation.
   * In the API response:
     * Look for the **users\_not\_found** field:
       * If present and contains the user's details, this confirms the user has been deleted
       * If not present, check the user's field for the user's information.

<Info>
  All verification methods should be performed only after 24 hours from the time the delete user API request was submitted.
