I have read through the documentation and can't find any way to delete a user's account. I can only see the delete identity function. Using that doesn't seem to do anything.

Is this a part of the library, if not can it be added as this is a crucial part of an app.

I know the admin library has the ability to delete a users account, but I shouldn't have to make a custom backend or function just to do this.

If I have to launch a custom backend for this, then there is no need to use Appwrite.

TL;DR
User is unable to find a way to delete a user's account using the client library for Discord. It seems that this is intended behavior and can only be done via the server-side SDK. The user suggests adding this feature to the library as it is crucial for their app. User is frustrated that they may need to create a custom backend for this, which defeats the purpose of using Appwrite. Solution: Use the server-side SDK to implement a function that deletes the user's account. It is currently not possible to do this directly from the client library.

I believe not being able to delete accounts from the client side is intended behavior.

You can create a function that deletes the account via the server side SDK, which shouldn't be hard to implement.
