I know more options for this are coming in a future version, but I'm wondering if it's possible to delete a user from the database?

I could delete from the qa_users table but I'm guessing the user ID is linked from other places like answers and so on. What's the best way to completely delete a user?

You should be safe to delete a user from the qa_users table. Where user IDs are referenced in other tables, Q2A uses foreign keys to do the right thing, either deleting a row or making a value NULL. Posts by a deleted user will become anonymous. The one exception is you might have to recalculate the user points, using the button in the 'Admin' -> 'Statistics' panel.
