@salehawal please share your full api data (with curl command if it's possible). Remember that your Access Token must have the permission to delete customer.

allow user to remove their account if they want

Please be careful when allowing customer to delete their account by themself. By default, customer is not able to delete their account with customer access token. You must create an Integration to generate Access Token.

@mrkhoa99 what i want is to provide our mobile developer with api documentation for magento 2.3.1 to allow him to enable the user to delete his profile if he wish to do so, why because apple store rejected our latest push to store because this future must be added

now i cant to know what is the correct way over api and if not supported because of old version can you recommend a alternative way or module to enable this api call to delete customer

@salehawal I think you must create a new custom api for this case.
