Deleting members

[Jelly Belly™]

Is there a way of mass deleting members ?
I currently have 30 pages of 'awaiting validation' 76 pages of 'banned' and 17 pages of 'spammers' to work through

I made a start deleting them one by one but lost the will to live after five pages🤣

If there are awaiting email validation and not admin validation, you can configure the system to automatically delete those after a certain amount of time in ACP -> System -> Login & Registration -> Registration -> Remove unvalidated members.

The rest would need to be deleted. You can mass prune using the advanced search and then pruning members found. However, there is no criteria apart from the tabs to mass search for those users. Of course, with any mass deleting, take backups prior to actioning.

Thanks Jim
these are members awaiting admin validation going back 10 years or more, most of them weren't validated for valid reasons, in hindsight I should have removed them at the time

I'm on the cloud so can't take a back up so one by one it is then 😆

Yeah, unfortunately, those will require 1 by 1 removal.

We do have backups for you 🙂
