Remove the avatar is basically updated its value - which you might have to pass it as null, have you tried this approach yet?

You can not pass null instead of avatarFileId - its error in the code
If you put ‘’ (empty string) instead of avatarFileId - you will have an exception - Parameters validation error!

The command

      AmityCoreClient.newUserRepository()
          .updateUser(email)
          .avatarFileId(avatarFileId)
          .displayName(displayName)
          .update()
          .then((AmityUser user) async {

Thank you for your patience. After consulting with our team, it appears that the only way to remove your avatar is by uploading an avatar via a custom URL instead of avatarFileId. You can achieve this by setting a placeholder URL in the custom URL field.

Thanks I know this option by I prefer to to upload/download a photo for no avatar

I used this field to and short text NoAvatar to sign that there is no avatar for this user

I will wait patiently to the option to remove the avatar by updating the avatarFileId to null
