Grove Account Deletion

Safely delete a tenant account and all associated data from the Grove platform using wrangler CLI commands.

When to Activate

• User says something like “delete Alice’s account” or “Alice is done”
• User mentions wanting to remove a test account
• User asks to clean up after a walkthrough or demo
• User explicitly calls /grove-account-deletion
• User says “nuke that account” or “wipe their data”

The Pipeline

Identify → Verify → Snapshot → Delete Tenant → Clean Orphans → Purge R2 → Verify

Step 1: Identify the Tenant

The user will provide a username (subdomain), email, or display name. Look them up:

# By username/subdomain (most common)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT id, subdomain, display_name, email, plan, created_at FROM tenants WHERE subdomain = 'USERNAME';"

# By email (if username unknown)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT id, subdomain, display_name, email, plan, created_at FROM tenants WHERE email = 'EMAIL';"

# By display name (fuzzy match)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT id, subdomain, display_name, email, plan, created_at FROM tenants WHERE display_name LIKE '%NAME%';"

Run these from the project root (/Users/mini/Documents/Projects/GroveEngine).

Step 2: Confirm with the User

Before deleting ANYTHING, show the user what you found and ask for explicit confirmation:

Found tenant:
  ID:       abc-123-def
  Username: alice
  Name:     Alice Wonderland
  Email:    alice@example.com
  Plan:     seedling
  Created:  2026-01-24

This will permanently delete:
  - All blog posts and pages
  - All media files (R2 storage)
  - All sessions and settings
  - Commerce data (orders, products, customers)
  - Curio configurations (timeline, journey, gallery)
  - Onboarding and billing records

Proceed with deletion?

NEVER skip this confirmation step. Even for test accounts.

Step 3: Pre-Deletion Snapshot (Optional but Recommended)

For non-test accounts, capture a quick count of what’s being deleted:

npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="
  SELECT
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM posts WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as posts,
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pages WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as pages,
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM media WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as media_files,
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sessions WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as sessions;
"

Step 4: Delete the Tenant (CASCADE Handles 29 Tables)

This single DELETE cascades to: posts, pages, media records, tenant_settings, sessions, products, product_variants, customers, orders, order_line_items, subscriptions, connect_accounts, platform_billing, refunds, discount_codes, post_views, timeline_curio_config, timeline_summaries, timeline_activity, timeline_ai_usage, journey_curio_config, journey_snapshots, journey_summaries, journey_jobs, gallery_curio_config, gallery_images, gallery_tags, gallery_collections, git_dashboard_config.

npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="DELETE FROM tenants WHERE id = 'TENANT_ID';"

Step 5: Clean Up Orphaned Records

These tables don’t CASCADE from tenants and need manual cleanup:

# Remove onboarding record (linked by username, not FK)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="DELETE FROM user_onboarding WHERE username = 'USERNAME';"

# Remove email verification codes for that user (cascades from user_onboarding via FK, but verify)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="DELETE FROM email_verification_codes WHERE user_id IN (SELECT id FROM user_onboarding WHERE username = 'USERNAME');"

If the user signed up via Heartwood and has no other tenants:

# Check if user has other tenants
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT id, subdomain FROM tenants WHERE email = 'USER_EMAIL';"

# If no other tenants exist, clean orphaned user record (if applicable)
# NOTE: The 'users' table may or may not exist depending on auth approach used

Step 6: Purge R2 Media (If Media Existed)

R2 keys follow the pattern {tenant_id}/{filename}. The D1 media table records are already gone (CASCADE), but the actual R2 objects remain.

# List objects with tenant prefix
npx wrangler r2 object list grove-media --prefix="TENANT_ID/" --remote

# Delete each object (wrangler doesn't support bulk delete, so iterate)
# For a small number of files:
npx wrangler r2 object delete grove-media --remote "TENANT_ID/filename1.webp"
npx wrangler r2 object delete grove-media --remote "TENANT_ID/filename2.webp"

For many files, generate a deletion script:

# List all keys, then delete in a loop
npx wrangler r2 object list grove-media --prefix="TENANT_ID/" --remote 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] .key' | while read key; do
  echo "Deleting: $key"
  npx wrangler r2 object delete grove-media --remote "$key"
done

Skip this step if the pre-deletion snapshot showed 0 media files.

Step 7: Post-Deletion Verification

Confirm the tenant is fully gone:

# Verify tenant deleted
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT COUNT(*) as remaining FROM tenants WHERE subdomain = 'USERNAME';"

# Verify cascade worked (spot-check a few tables)
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="
  SELECT
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM posts WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as posts,
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM media WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as media,
    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sessions WHERE tenant_id = 'TENANT_ID') as sessions;
"

# Verify onboarding cleaned
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT COUNT(*) as remaining FROM user_onboarding WHERE username = 'USERNAME';"

Step 8: Report

Give the user a clean summary:

Tenant "alice" (Alice Wonderland) has been fully deleted.

Cleaned up:
  - Tenant record + 29 cascaded tables
  - Onboarding record
  - 3 R2 media files
  - Email verification codes

The subdomain "alice.grove.place" is now available for reuse.

Safety Rules

1. Always confirm before deleting – Even if the user seems sure, show them the tenant details first
2. Never delete by ID alone – Always resolve to a human-readable identifier (subdomain/email) for confirmation
3. Check for active subscriptions – Warn if platform_billing.status = 'active' or LemonSqueezy subscription exists
4. Test accounts are still accounts – Same process, same confirmation, same verification
5. R2 is permanent – Once R2 objects are deleted, they’re gone. The D1 media records (which held the keys) are already cascaded away, so do R2 cleanup BEFORE losing track of what was stored

Quick Mode (Test Accounts)

For accounts the user explicitly calls “test accounts” or accounts created in the current session:

• Still confirm the username/email
• Skip the pre-deletion snapshot
• Skip R2 cleanup if no media was uploaded
• Still verify deletion completed

Edge Cases

User has multiple tenants

One email can own multiple subdomains. Only delete the specified tenant. Don’t touch others.

Tenant not found

If the subdomain/email doesn’t match any tenant, tell the user. Don’t guess.

Heartwood session cleanup

Heartwood sessions are stored in KV, not D1. The D1 sessions table is for legacy/local sessions. Heartwood sessions will expire naturally (24h TTL). No manual cleanup needed unless urgency is specified.

LemonSqueezy subscription active

If user_onboarding.lemonsqueezy_subscription_id is set, warn the user that they may need to cancel the subscription in the LemonSqueezy dashboard separately. D1 deletion doesn’t cancel external billing.

Environment

All commands run from the project root: /Users/mini/Documents/Projects/GroveEngine

The database is: grove-engine-db (D1) The media bucket is: grove-media (R2)

A clean deletion is a kind goodbye. Leave no orphans behind.
