Ok, i have a bunch of users in a specific group.

I want to delete them ALL with one foul swoop... How?

(I want to be sure the users in the other groups are un-touched.)

I tried searching the site but didnt see anything about this. I hope I didnt miss anything.

Not easily. Cant' be done with a query as there are lots of things that need to happen when a user is deleted.... removing their messages, removing their favorites, clearing their last table. Setting their posts to user #1 and the B_AnonName etc.....

If some of those things aren't done, you'll have problems with other things.

So you'd really need a script to do it with one step.

When you delete a user one at a time, it does this right? So couldnt something be done to simply select multiple accounts to do the same thing?

Yeah, you could look at those scripts and see all the steps that are taken when a user is deleted.

You just don't want any other tables referring to a usernumber that's been deleted... it'll cause stuff to randomly not appear.
