account.DeleteAccount

Delete the user's account from the telegram servers. Can be used, for example, to delete the account of a user that provided the login code, but forgot the 2FA password and no recovery method is configured.

Example

const { Api, TelegramClient } = require("telegram");
const { StringSession } = require("telegram/sessions");

const session = new StringSession(""); // You should put your string session here
const client = new TelegramClient(session, apiId, apiHash, {});

(async function run() {
  await client.connect(); // This assumes you have already authenticated with .start()

  const result = await client.invoke(
    new Api.account.DeleteAccount({
      reason: "some string here",
    })
  );
  console.log(result); // prints the result
})();

import { Api, TelegramClient } from "telegram";
import { StringSession } from "telegram/sessions";

const session = new StringSession(""); // You should put your string session here
const client = new TelegramClient(session, apiId, apiHash, {});

  await client.connect(); // This assumes you have already authenticated with .start()
