Greetings Drupal gurus,

This is pertaining to the site www.dentistrytoday.info made in Drupal 6.34.

I would be migrating the site to some other CMS. Before I actually migrate the site I wanted to delete spam users from the existing site.

I therefore asked my programmer to make a deleting page which shows the following details.

1. Name 2.E-mail 3.Active/ Inactive users 4.IP Address 5.Created date 6. Last access

My programmer has made such a page and we can delete users through that page. However once users are the deleted we can still see them when we search for the name in the users . After the search we can still see their account and delete them.

On the deleting page once we delete the users we can see that the number of users and the user pages becoming less.

After deleting few users we find that the size of the database also become less.

What my programmer has also not been able to find out as to why we can see the users in “search” altho it is seen to be deleted from the database.

What could be cause of the problem?

Hope to see a lot of responses & many thanks in advance for the same.

Thanks & best regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Veerendra Darakh.

Drupal 6.x is no longer supported, however I'd perform the following actions:

double check the user table
empty site cache
reindex search
