Delete Firebase anonymous users after a while

Question

I am using anonymous auth to allow my users to use the app without logging in. However, Firebase seems to persist these anonymous user IDs indefinitely. Is there a way to au

Answer 1

Anonymous users can be a starting point before you upgrade them to a non anonymous user (think of an e-commerce site where an anonymous user adds stuff into his cart and then on checkout, upgrades to a Google or email/password user; in this case you probably do not want to lose the user's cart). As explained, this could be useful if you want to persist data from an anonymous user to an upgraded user. If you wish to purge anonymous users, there is no automated way to do so. However as soon as you either sign out the anonymous user or sign in a non anonymous user, the state of the anonymous user will be lost.
