# wp user delete
Deletes one or more users from the current site.
On multisite, `wp user delete` only removes the user from the current site. Include `--network` to also remove the user from the database, but make sure to reassign their posts prior to deleting the user.
### OPTIONS
<user>...
: The user login, user email, or user ID of the user(s) to delete.
[\--network]
: On multisite, delete the user from the entire network.
[\--reassign=<user-id>]
: User ID to reassign the posts to.
[\--yes]
: Answer yes to any confirmation prompts.
### EXAMPLES
# Delete user 123 and reassign posts to user 567
$ wp user delete 123 --reassign=567
Success: Removed user 123 from http://example.com
# Delete all contributors and reassign their posts to user 2
$ wp user delete $(wp user list --role=contributor --field=ID) --reassign=2
Success: Removed user 813 from http://example.com
Success: Removed user 578 from http://example.com
# Delete all contributors in batches of 100 (avoid error: argument list too long: wp)
$ wp user delete $(wp user list --role=contributor --field=ID | head -n 100)
