hi

i accidentally set up clean up inactive users after days to 10 days and 1000 users were deleted

Can i find their emails ?

No. They look pretty destroyed:

discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/jobs/scheduled/clean_up_inactive_users.rb#L28


    .pluck(:id).each_slice(50) do |slice|
    destroy(slice)
  end

end

private

def destroy(ids)

  destroyer = UserDestroyer.new(Discourse.system_user)

  User.transaction do
    ids.each do |id|
      begin
        user = User.find_by(id: id)
        next unless user
        destroyer.destroy(user, transaction: false, context: I18n.t("user.destroy_reasons.inactive_user"))
      rescue => e
        Discourse.handle_job_exception(e,
         message: "Cleaning up inactive users",

Can you restore a backup?
