I am finishing up my app, and one of the last major things I have to implement is a way for users to delete their account. However, it seems like this is not possible right now? Creating/getting an account works fine by using the methods shown in the docs under the Account API using the React Native platform. But there doesn't seem to be a method for deleting an account. I see there is a delete identity, but when I tried it the account was still shown in the auth section. I see that under the Users section of the docs there is a delete user, but only for platforms under the server list. It seems like the way to do this for React Native is not implemented yet, but I figured I'd ask incase I am misunderstanding something? I am certainty new to both react native and appwrite so any help/clarity would be appreciated!

TL;DR
Developers are struggling to find a way to delete a user account in React Native using Appwrite due to the lack of a direct method for it. The delete identity method does not fully remove the account, and the delete user option is available only for server platforms according to the provided documentation. It appears that a complete solution for deleting user accounts in React Native is not currently implemented within Appwrite.
