## Disabling vs Deleting a User

While the system offers an option to delete a user, **we do not recommend using it**. Deleting a user removes their profile, which means, any past records linked to that user will show as “Unknown”, making it difficult to track historical data accurately.

**Best Practice:**

Instead of deleting, we strongly recommend disabling the user. Disabling preserves all their past activity and records.
