When someone registers, I direct them to an email verification page and hold them there until they verify the email.The problem is that if someone uses my email and deletes app without verifying it, the mail still remains in the database.How do we delete unverified email addresses?

Answer 1

You can run a scheduled cloud function every day that checks for unverified users and deletes them. That also means you would have to use Admin SDK and cannot be done in Flutter. You can create a NodeJS Cloud Function with the following code and run it.

exports.scheduledFunction = functions.pubsub.schedule('every 24 hours').onRun((context) => {
    console.log('This will be run every 24 hours!');
    const users = []
    const listAllUsers = (nextPageToken) => {
        // List batch of users, 1000 at a time.
        return admin.auth().listUsers(1000, nextPageToken).then((listUsersResult) => {
            listUsersResult.users.forEach((userRecord) => {
                users.push(userRecord)
            });
            if (listUsersResult.pageToken) {
                // List next batch of users.
                listAllUsers(listUsersResult.pageToken);
            }
        }).catch((error) => {
            console.log('Error listing users:', error);
        });
    };
    // Start listing users from the beginning, 1000 at a time.
    await listAllUsers();
    const unVerifiedUsers = users.filter((user) => !user.emailVerified).map((user) => user.uid)

    //DELETING USERS
    return admin.auth().deleteUsers(unVerifiedUsers).then((deleteUsersResult) => {
        console.log(`Successfully deleted ${deleteUsersResult.successCount} users`);
        console.log(`Failed to delete ${deleteUsersResult.failureCount} users`);
        deleteUsersResult.errors.forEach((err) => {
            console.log(err.error.toJSON());
        });
        return true
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.log('Error deleting users:', error);
        return false
    });
});
