description: Use Clerk's JS Backend SDK to delete a user's profile image.
sdk: js-backend{/* clerk/javascript file: https://github.com/clerk/javascript/blob/main/packages/backend/src/api/endpoints/UserApi.ts#L158 */}
Deletes a user's profile image. Returns a User object.
function deleteUserProfileImage(userId: string): Promise<User>
[!WARNING] Using JS Backend SDK methods can contribute towards rate limiting. To remove a user's profile image, it's recommended to use the frontend
user.setProfileImage({ file: null })method instead.
const userId = 'user_123'
const response = await clerkClient.users.deleteUserProfileImage(userId)
This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint DELETE/users/{user_id}/profile_image. See the BAPI reference{{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
