Hi @xiaods.

To remove the user xiaods from the hub, you need to run infinit user pull -n xiaods but first remember to remove every resources (network, volume, drive, etc.) you put on the hub.

You can run ìnfinit user delete --purge --pull, it should remove everything related to your user and you should have a clean environment except silos and other resources fetched that don't belong to you.

@Dimrok thanks for your help. the command "infinit user delete --purge --pull" is good point. but i also have another issue:

$ infinit user delete --purge --pull
infinit: fatal error: no private key for xiaods, unable to sign request

so how to reset the passwd. i am not found any page to reset.

Hmm right.

If somehow, you delete your user locally, this means its private key has been destroyed. To authenticate a user on the hub (for example for him to add or remove resources associated to him), we need a proof, given by a signature that uses its private key.

If the private key has been deleted, you have no way to remove resources for the hub anymore.

@Dimrok it's my bad, i want testing all feature in current infinit utility. i don't know the result when i remove user data locally. so i maybe destroyed my private key right now.

i suggest provide a way to download the private key. it will let me can restore the relationship.

@xiaods we don't store your private key unless you explicitly ask for (by running infinit user create/push/signup with the --full --password <password> options).

If you didn't, the key is lost forever.

@Dimrok Got. thanks a lot.
