How to delete user from Auth0 on Next.js?

问题

I can login and logout users on Next.js after reading these resources amongst others:

The Ultimate Guide to Next.js Authentication with Auth0
@auth0/nextjs-auth0 library
API Call Example
SPA + API: Node.js Implementation for the API

But nowhere could I find out if I can delete users using the auth0/nextjs-auth0 library.

I also looked into the module's handlers here.

Am I right to think there is no way to delete a user using the @auth0/nextjs-auth0 library?

If yes, what is the most preferred way to delete a user? I'd like to allow users to click a button in the browser to delete themselves from Auth0.

At this point, I'm thinking of using node-auth0 library to do it following this solution:

 management.users.delete({ id: USER_ID }, function (err) {
    if (err) {
      // Handle error.
    }
 
    // User deleted.
  });

But it requires a node back end, which I sort of wanted to avoid. Even so, is this the best solution or are there better ones? The Auth0 ecosystem is quite sprawling.

Edit 27 Oct 2020: Will try using node-auth0 library in "serverless" function in Next.js to allow user to delete their account over the weekend. Secrets are hidden with Next's runtime configuration. If this is not the best way to do it, please let me know. Thanks.

I believe you mean logging out a user by "deleting a user". Because If you want to delete a user from the database, you have to have node server which handles the db connection. If you want to log out the user, in "pages/api/v1" create a logout.js. in next.js, serverless functions or api functions are written in "pages/api".

import auth0 from "/utils/auth0"; 
// auth0 file is where you set the configuration for the auth0.

export default async function logout(req,res) {
  try {
    await auth0.handleLogout(req, res);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    res.status(error.status || 400).end(error.message);
  }
}
