deleteUser failed

Error message

deleteUser failed

What it means

Wraps authClient.deleteUser({ callbackURL }); the literal fires only when better-auth's error has no message. Deletion runs server-side and the user lands on the API-origin success page because the server cannot know which app origin (stage-web / stage-tamagotchi / stage-pocket) initiated the request.

Solutions

  1. Re-authenticate and retry the deletion.
  2. Log error.status/code from deleteUser to identify the rejection reason.
  3. Confirm the auth server is up and the delete-account route/plugin is enabled.
  4. Verify callbackURL builds correctly from SERVER_URL.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

if (!authStore.user) {
  deleteError.value = 'Session expired — sign in again'
  return
}

Try / catch

catch (error) {
  if ((error as { status?: number })?.status === 401)
    await redirectToSignIn()
  else
    deleteError.value = errorMessageFrom(error) ?? t('settings.pages.account.danger.deleteAccount.error.fallback')
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Expired session (401); the server requiring recent re-auth or an additional factor for deletion; auth server unreachable; user abandons the email-confirmation flow where that plugin is enabled.

Common situations: Long-lived settings tab with a stale session; auth server restart mid-flow; custom better-auth plugins adding deletion constraints.
