I run the forum, and users have to register.
If somthing goes wrong, the database has records, either empty, or with the user information.
While login and e-mail adress can exist only once in database, the user cannot sign up again because the e-mail adres is already taken.

What is the best way to remove a user or empty record?

(Users who decide to go away and not to use the discard button (no one does it seems) also creates a whole bunch of drafts...)

In similar situations, I found these as drafts or sometimes in the trash in the admin interface. Delete them from there (and empty the trash completely of user objects)

Deleting a user form drafts and trash, does not remove all objects. The users login and e-mail are therefore still blocked, because there already taken.
Looking in the database I can find entries in table ezuser, but also in ezcontentobject and other tables.

Cleaning the database by hand is error prone, and will soon be unmanagable.

And will tables like ezuser_accountkey be cleared after this period?
