Hi, it sounds like there is quite a lot of rules around deleting users, for example: Users can’t be deleted if they have posts. Delete all posts before trying to delete a user. (Posts older than 60 days old can’t be deleted.) Is there anywhere that all of these rules, instructions, processes are documented so users can know what they are getting themselves into? As an admin, I don’t seem to be able to configure these kinds of rules myself, so I assume it is a Discourse system side feature. Thanks, Kristin

Kristin, does this help? (first section) [image]GDPR countdown and compliance Right to Be Forgotten :white_check_mark: If the user requests, the admin can use the user info panel to delete all of a user’s posts. Note you may need to up the “delete user max post age” and “delete all posts max” settings but then it’s possible. Once there are no more posts you can then delete the user.

Documentation on the process for deleting users?
