Deleting user leaves profile updated activity stream message behind [#1926304]

I see that I have this on the frontpage:

[message:user:picture][message:user:name] has an updated profile.

However, I suspect it may be because I used the advuser module. Perhaps it doesn't trigger the cleanup from Commons? Is that because of advuser not properly deleting users or Commons not properly detecting user deletion?

Is there another module you'd recommend for being able to delete multiple users at once?

I haven't reproduced yet but this is worth investigating. There is a setting in Message module to handle deletion of messages that reference entities that are deleted - we may need to update this value.

I was able to reproduce with the "updated profile" message but not a node created message. Bumping to critical.

This activity stream message type lacked a "target users" field, and thus those messages weren't automatically deleted.

This fix will be effective for new messages going forward - For old messages, you can delete these from the {message} table.
