Description

In Keybase desktop version `1.0.40-20180127033950+76a4b90c9`, clicking **Setting** > **Delete Me** > **Delete my account forever** > **Yes permanent delete it** throws following error, and can't delete account at all.

`GENERIC: ERROR CODE 218 - AccountDelete is a devel-only RPC in method keybase.1.login.accountDelete at o.t (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:392353) at o (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:392659) at a (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:392021) at t.convertToError (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:392219) at _rpcClient.invoke.t (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:331023) at file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:795119 at e.t.Deferrals.e._call (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:623532) at file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:623683 at s (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:623312) at e.t.Deferrals.e._fulfill (file:///opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:1:623642)`

Research direction

Start by reproducing the account-deletion flow in desktop version 1.0.40-20180127033950+76a4b90c9: Settings > Delete Me > Delete my account forever > Yes permanent delete it. Inspect the reported AccountDelete RPC failure in the bundled desktop client; done means the flow no longer fails with the devel-only RPC error and the account can be deleted.
