# User Deletions

In HyperPrivacy Mode, each user gets their own file system. Files owned by a user cannot be seen by site administrators. The only way for one user to access the files of another user is for that user to share those files or folders explicitly.

When you delete a user in HyperPrivacy Mode, all of that user's files are also deleted. These files cannot be restored from the Trash.

If a site administrator needs access to a departed user's files, capture them before deleting the user by signing in to the site as the user. A site administrator does this by modifying the user's authentication credentials.
