Removing accounts (lemmyverse.org)

Can somebody let me know how I would remove an account from the posgreSQL database?

I can see the tables, but don't know where the accounts are held or the sql statement to delete them.

Thank you.

With federated services it’s generally a bad idea to fully delete an account, it’s better to mark the account as “deleted” so future requests can be notified of the deletion

This also prevents people from impersonating others
