When  a sales rep in your team transitions into a different department or a different organization, there is obviously a need for you to remove him out of your system. In this case, we would recommend you to deactivate your user. But if there is a requirement to remove a user from Freshsales owing to GDPR compliance or other requirements, you can always opt to delete the user from Freshsales.


Note: Only inactive users can be deleted. Hence, the recommended process is to first deactivate a user, before proceeding to delete him from Freshsales. It is recommended that admins transfer the records using bulk reassign if they are deleting a user.
