Purging unconfirmed users
 

Hi,

I have never done this and now have 12,000 sitting there.

I want to free these up but when I try and purge them it seems to take an absolute age. It goes through the updating threads/posts process for each user, taking a good 15 secs per user which is obviously going to take forever. So I closed the browser down after about 100 names or so because it was obvious it wasn't the right way to do it.

I am only deleting people older than 30 days and with 0 posts so it shouldn't need to update post and thread information.

My questions.

1. Have they been deleted seeing as I half ran the script? (They are still showing in the usergroups section as 12,000 but not sure if this is because I need to update counters)

2. What's the best way of deleting these users?

3. Once done, what counters would you suggest I update?

Thanks in advance.
