**Removes something for good. Agents name what will be lost and wait for an explicit yes; a program should ask the same.**

## MCP tool

`manitu_webhosting_web_sshuser_delete`

### Description for the model

Deletes an SSH user of a web hosting package of the manitu customer account this connection works in, by site_id and username from manitu_webhosting_web_sshuser_list. The files it created stay; its open sessions end; the user name and its keys are gone for good. To switch it off for a while, use manitu_webhosting_web_sshuser_set with status inactive instead. Refused with a conflict when the package cannot be changed now (not_configurable). Ask the customer for an explicit yes first, naming the user name and its description.

### Arguments

- `site_id` (integer | string, required) - The site_id from manitu_webhosting_list - never guess one. (pattern `"^[1-9][0-9]*$"`; minimum `1`)
- `username` (string, required) - The user name of the SSH user (ssh<number>) from manitu_webhosting_web_sshuser_list - never guess one. (maxLength `32`; pattern `"^ssh[0-9]+$"`)
