# Delete users in IAM Identity Center
<a name="deleteusers"></a>

When you delete a user in your IAM Identity Center directory, it removes their access to AWS accounts and applications. After you delete a user, you cannot undo this action. Use the following procedure to delete a user in your Identity Center directory.

**Note**  
When you disable user access or delete a user in IAM Identity Center, that user will immediately be prevented from signing in to the AWS access portal and will not be able to create new sign in sessions. For more information, see [Understanding authentication sessions in IAM Identity Center](authconcept.md).

**Important**  
The instructions on this page apply to [AWS IAM Identity Center](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/identity-center/). They do not apply to [AWS Identity and Access Management](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/) (IAM). IAM Identity Center users, groups, and user credentials are different from IAM users, groups, and IAM user credentials. If you are looking for instructions on deleting users in IAM, see [Deleting an IAM user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_manage.html#id_users_deleting) in the *AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide*.
