Failed to delete selected users: API error happened while trying to communicate with the server.
```

## Steps

1. How to can't delete users on local Supabase: Method Not Allowed, fixed in v2.15.8.

2. Issue supabase/supabase#32901 (closed, 58 comments): On a locally deployed Supabase stack, deleting a user from Supabase Studio's auth section fails with "Failed to delete selected users: API error happened while trying to communicate with the server." Digging into the network calls showed the underlying response was a Method Not Allowed error from the auth admin endpoint. Everything else in the local stack worked fine.

3. Fixed upstream. Reporter panosjapan7 confirmed the delete-user flow was resolved in v2.15.8 of the self-hosted stack/CLI. If you are running a local Supabase deploy older than that and user deletion fails with Method Not Allowed, update your supabase CLI and pull the latest self-hosted images, then restart the stack. No config change or workaround is needed on current versions.
