Removing someone from your site takes only a couple of clicks — WordPress just wants to know what should happen to the posts and pages they wrote before their account goes. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

## Before you start

- You'll need to be signed in as an Administrator, or another role that's allowed to delete users.
- Pick the person carefully — deleting an account can't be undone.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open the Users list and find the person

In the left-hand menu, click **Users**, then choose **All Users**. Find the person you want to remove, hover over their row, and click **Delete**.

### Step 2: Decide what happens to their content

WordPress asks what should be done with the content owned by this user. Leave **Delete all content.** selected to remove their posts and pages along with the account, or pick **Attribute all content to another user.** and choose who takes them over from the **Select a user** list.

### Step 3: Confirm the deletion

Happy with your choice? Click **Confirm Deletion**. The account is gone and you're back on the Users list with a short note confirming what was removed.

## Good to know

- Don't want to delete anyone just yet? Change their role to **— No role for this site —** instead. They keep their account, but lose access to your site.
- You can remove several people at once: tick the boxes next to their names, choose **Delete** from the bulk actions list, and click **Apply**.
- Want to keep their writing? Choose **Attribute all content to another user.** — their posts and pages stay on your site under a new name.

## Summary

That's it — the account is off your site for good, and their posts and pages either went with it or moved to someone you chose. If you'd rather they kept an account without access, changing their role is the gentler option.
