A profile that passes through the **Delete profile** node is deleted permanently and irreversibly. This node can be used in [customer-oriented](/docs/glossary#profile-oriented-workflow) workflows. ## Node configuration --- This node doesn’t require any configuration. However, it must be immediately followed by the **End** node with the option to finish other paths disabled.

Using the **Delete Profile** node permanently deletes a profile. This action also stops all transitions involving the profile, both within the current workflow and in any other workflows.

## Example of use --- You can launch the process of deleting a profile when a user closes their account on your website. The requirement for this example would be sending a custom "close account" event to Synerise after a user removes their account. The event triggers an automation that deletes the profile in Synerise. This way, you can automate cleaning of your customer base. 1. As the trigger node, add **Profile Event**. 2. In the configuration of the node, select a close account event and confirm the settings by clicking **Apply**. 3. As the next node, add **Delete Profile**. 4. As the final node, add the **End** node. **Result**:
