# How Do I Delete a MySQL User in cPanel

You may need to revoke access or outright delete a MySQL User Account from accessing your databases for one reason or another. Below is how this can be completed:

***Note: Deleting a database user that has permissions for a database will stop that user from being able to connect. For example, the user created for a WordPress site would stop the site from working correctly.***

1. Start by logging into your cPanel account; If you're unsure of the URL, you can try **https://mydomainname.com.au:2083** or pass through from WHM directly: **![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-1688121647928.png)**

2. Under the '**Databases**' tab, select '**MySQL Databases**': ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-1688124846624.png)

3. In the following page under the ' **MySQL Users**' section, you will find '**Current Users**' where you can ' **Delete**' the desired user/s: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-1688124907010.png)

4. When prompted to confirm the deletion of the desired user chosen, you can '**Delete User**': ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-1688124948831.png)

Once completed, you can navigate back to the **' MySQL Databases'** area if any further users need to be deleted.
