 This is not possible in the Joomla environment. As mentioned at the beginning of this tutorial, Joomla does not have any Frontend facilities to accommodate such an action. Since JomSocial relies on the Joomla User Object, it is impossible for us to delete the user account from the Frontend of the site.
 One of the other issues that also prevents us from implementing this feature include: [http://docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/User#onUserBeforeDelete hooks that are triggered when user is deleted.] These hooks are only triggered in the Backend and are used in the [[JomSocialUser|JomSocial User Plugin]] to delete all the associated data from the deleted user.
