How to delete a user ?

Question

I have a correctly registered user who choosed a very ofensive name. He is blocked but still shows up in the user list.

How can I delete him ? Did I miss something ?

Answer 1

Can't you just rename the user? If you can't do it through the admin section, you can do it in the database without messing anything up. In the `qa_users` table, edit the `handle` field.

The alternative is to delete that row from the user table - all that will happen is any questions/answers they posted will show up as "by anonymous".

It would be nice if there is a feature to delete user from admin panel or through plugins.

Answer 2

Can't you delete the user entry from MYSQL database? I have done it on my site.
