<p class="p">Admins have the ability to permanently delete users, which removes the user from the
system. This might be necessary because of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or
similar regulations, which grant individuals from certain regions the <em class="ph i">right to
erasure</em> or the right to be <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408845703194" target="_blank">forgotten or deleted</a>. When permanently deleting users and
removing personally identifiable information (PII) from Zendesk products, you must
consider whether the data captured in the audit log contains personal information that
also needs to be removed.</p>
<p class="p">This may be necessary, but it is important to understand that altering the audit log in
this way can make it harder to accurately track your history.</p>
