If you delete malicious user profile from Administration menu the user is only marked deleted but all data is in database and user folders.
Set first from Administration -> Security -> Site policies
Force users to login for profiles
and if you have phpmyadmin or some other tool to use mysql find table mdl_user and from that table row with id 72
This person or bot has probably not done anything else - only saved the profile so you can delete that row with id 72 with
or use a command like
DELETE FROM `mdl_user` WHERE `id` = 72
Hi Mauno,
I have had several of these bogus accounts created with spam profiles. I have changed my admin setting to force users to login for profiles now, but I would like all those spam profiles to be deleted. Some of these are coming up when searching for our site. Now, they are directed to a page that says you have to be logged in, but I would reather the profile just be completely removed.
What would you recommend? I am guessing we had about 100 of these profiles created.
Thanks!
