```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Profile;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class DeleteAccountController extends Controller
{
    // Route: DELETE /admin/profile
    public function destroy(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'password' => ['required', 'current_password'],
            'confirmation' => ['required', 'in:DELETE'],
        ]);

        $user = $request->user();

        // Log out all sessions
        Auth::logoutOtherDevices($request->password);

        // Delete related data
        $user->tokens()->delete();
        $user->socialAccounts()->delete();
        $user->webauthnCredentials()->delete();

        // Delete user
        $user->delete();

        Auth::logout();
        $request->session()->invalidate();
        $request->session()->regenerateToken();

        return redirect('/')->with('status', 'account-deleted');
    }
}
