I created several standard user connected accounts using the stripe API.
The problem is when I tried to delete them, I got this response:
"This method may only be used on Custom or Express accounts"
I am using the stripe api doc:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts
So tha's why I would like to know how to delete those accounts, because it was just for testing and I will still testing for while, So I need to know how to delete them.

Hello Alfredo,

Today you can't delete Standard accounts this way as those will continue to be valid accounts. What you can do though is disconnect the accounts from your platform as documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts#revoked-access

Hope this helps!

Thanks, it worked just fine.
Just to be sure, those accounts are not related to the platform anymore , right?

Hello Alfredo,

That's correct. At that point the account would be entirely disconnected from your platform and you wouldn't be able to access information from the accounts.
