Delete a member

[Thomas]

I created a test-member and have there after deleted the account again. But under "People" the test-member still is showing as a unregistrated/deactivated. How is this member to be removed?

MY PROBLEM IS SIM.  I HAVE A MEMBER WHO IS UNREGISTERED.  I WANT TO DELETE SO SHE CAN START OVER AGAIN WITH A DIF. EMAIL.  THE ONE SHE USED IS HAVING PROBLEMS.  HOW DO I DO THAT WITHOUT BANNING HER?  WE WANT HER NAME AND EMAIL TO MATCH OUR HOME SITE AND WE DO NOT WANT TO IN-BED.  THANK YOU, MUSECONNIEHUES

I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT WITHOUT USING THE BAN FUNCTION.  SHE ONLY HAS ONE EMAIL AND CANNOT USE ANOTHER.  I WANT TO MAKE IT LIKE SHE NEVER REGISTERED.,  THANKS FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL ME.  CONNIE

I'm curious to know if this works too. I have a similar issue.

I need this too - had setup a test account called 'Test User' and then deactivated. Now the user name just sits there - how can you get rid of it?!

It would be nice to have an answer every now and again! Surely this can't be that difficult to answer - it is either 'you do this' or 'it can't be done' what is it please?

Here is the solution:
(1) Go to "Options > Users > Manage users & groups" and create a new group (e.g., "hidden_users") and add the user to that group.
(2) Then go to "Options > Users > Change permissions" and make sure that the new group doesn't have the "Show_group_members" permission set.

That's it. That user won't be listed on any page.

Thanks Hugo - does not seem to work for me though as the user is still shown in the Authenticated group (which you can't change). If I deselect the Authenticated group then all of the names disappear apart from Admin.

What am I doing wrong please?
