# 🔴 Frontend deleteAccount action calls DELETE /user/profile which has no backend route — account deletion is broken

**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** Authentication
**Labels:** bug, frontend, critical, broken-feature

## Description

The frontend deleteAccount action in src/actions/account.ts (line 144) calls axiosInstance.delete(endpoints.users.profile) which resolves to DELETE /user/profile. The actual soft-delete route is DELETE /api/auth/account (requires password in body, runs deleteAccountValidation). Account deletion silently returns 404 from every UI path.

## Current Behavior

DELETE /user/profile returns 404. Users cannot delete their accounts from the UI.

## Expected Behavior

deleteAccount action should call DELETE /api/auth/account with the user's password in the request body.

## Affected Files

- `frontend/src/actions/account.ts`
- `frontend/src/lib/axios.ts`
