'Deleting a user with ReactJS/Firebase SDK

I'm trying to make an admin panel for my website which has a page to allow admins to delete users. The issue is, I have tried 2 different ways to delete a user using the Firebase SDK/React and I get similar errors for both methods.

Method 1 (where const app = firebase.initializeApp(...))

const auth = app.auth()
auth.deleteUser(uid)

Error: _firebase__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__.auth.deleteUser is not a function

Method 2

import { getAuth } from 'firebase/auth'
getAuth().deleteUser(uid)

Error: _firebase_auth__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2__.getAuth)(...).deleteUser is not a function

You can't delete a user by their UID from the client-side SDK, as that would allow any user of your app to delete any other user's account by simply knowing their UID (which is quite common).

The client-side SDK can only delete the currently signed-in user. To delete a user by their UID you will have to use the Admin SDK in a trusted environment (such as your dev machine, a server that you control, or Cloud Functions/Cloud Run).
