Delete a log from firebase auth

I need to delete a record from Firebase Auth, I am using the following code:

        FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();

    user.delete().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {

        }
    });

But it’s making a mistake:

java.lang.Nullpointerexception: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.google.android.gms.tasks.Task com.google.firebase.auth.Firebaseuser.delete()' on a null Object Reference

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong or how I delete a record of Firebase Auth?

useris certainly null. You do not have a user logged in with this instance of Firebaseuth. If you want to delete a specific user and not the connected user himself (like an Administer/superuser) use Firebase Console.

I want to delete the user q is current, for example... after he leaves a login validation page, without having validated using a code that is sent by sms (all ready so far), his user is deleted from the bank, because he has not finished his registration.

Got it. But your Firebaseuth has no users, maybe it hasn’t even been created in the first place.

Very likely the user is returning null.

The cause of him returning null may be connected to Authentication. You are authenticating the user?

Perform a validation on your Activity as an example below:

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    // Check if user is signed in (non-null) and update UI accordingly.
    FirebaseUser currentUser = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
    updateUI(currentUser);
}

Add the task.isSuccessful() in your user.delete() method to validate:

user.delete().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
            if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                Log.d(TAG, "User account deleted.");
            }
        }
});
