Hello there, recently we migrated all users to auth0, firstly we used lazy migration with a custom database connection, and then we bulk migrated all the rest users. Currently, there is no need for a custom database connection. So we wanted to disable the custom database connection but it seems impossible to do if a connection has users imported already. Can anyone confirm that the only way to do so is to bulk export users with password hashed from that connection and reimport them to another?

Ok, I missed this page: [Configure Automatic Migration from Your Database](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-migration/configure-automatic-migration-from-your-database#disconnect-external-user-store)
