Hi,

When a user is deleted also delete the folder that has been created where uploaded their files and photos?

When you delete a member only their profile is deleted, any posts would be listed as being posted by a Guest.

Is there a way to delete all of the posts a user had made if you intend to delete that user and actually want all of the posts gone?

If the members has created under 50 posts you can use the Spam Cleaner Tool to delete their posts from their forum profile.

You need to do this before deleting the member from the admin area.

Would be nice to delete all mesages and also have the option to hide the messages instead of deleting. Some members ask to be deleted... but then, they can create another account and get into trouble. If I´m able to compare with old posts from a deleted users I can figure out if they are the same.

We have found from the spam cleaner which can delete spammers posts that if the member has over 50 posts the deletion process take many minutes if not hours during which time the excessive strain on the server making the forum unresponsive.

You are able to delete and/or hide individual posts and topics by members.
