Deleting user accounts as Admin

[stuttgartershrew]

Hello,

Apologies if this is going over old ground (as I suspect it is but I was unable to find an answer looking through the support forums) but we have just started a new forum and we would like to keep a top of things with some housekeeping. One of the things we would like to do is to delete accounts that have not logged into the forum or have not logged in for some time. However, when looking to do so the only options we can find is to ban and block users. We would rather not do this as we wouldn't want anyone unable to return at a later time. Can we instead delete the accounts?

Thanks for your help...

Hi
Click on the member’s name. That will bring up their profile. click on the cogwheel on the far right. That brings up a list of options which includes ‘ delete member’
If your moderators have the power, they too will see that option.

Hi

You should find the option to delete an account on the Staff Options tab on a user's edit profile page.

If you are not seeing it there, are you logged in as the main admin on the forum?
