Hello,

I’m a moderator in a forum using Discourse, and I accidentally deleted a user when I intended only to reject the post.

Is there a way to recover this user? Or at least send them an invite (and explain that it was a mistake)? I looked at the log and I could only see their username, but not their email.

I did see a related post about [how to restore deleted posts by a user](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restore-undelete-all-posts-by-a-user/304643), but does that still work if the user itself has been deleted?

Thanks in advance for your help.
