Description

Bulk Delete Users by Email provides a simple, effective way for administrators to remove multiple WordPress user accounts using email addresses.

This plugin enables bulk deletion by allowing you to input a list of email addresses in plain text format. It automatically matches email addresses to user accounts and deletes them along with all associated data and metadata. Designed for high-volume operations, it employs batch processing to prevent server timeouts and ensure reliable execution. This makes it a valuable tool for cleaning up spam accounts, removing inactive users, processing GDPR deletion requests, and maintaining a clean, organized user database.

Greatest thing since sliced bread!

Too bad this is so hard to find in the ocean of WordPress plugins. At least once per year you should send an email to every registered user and nuke all of the accounts with emails that bounce. Just paste the list in and go!

Just gives errors - does not work!

Too bad - a bulk user delete plugin is needed thanks to all the spammers out there, but don't waste your time on this one. You'll only get errors and hopefully it doesn't do damage.

Didn't work for me

I entered a short alphabetic string in the large text box then submitted the form. The resulting page provided only errors.

but useful

Fast and spot-on. But no warnings before delete

By andrewskg on January 30, 2018

An excellent lightweight plugin that works as it should. My only suggestion would be to have a warning before doing the deletion. You could first present the matched results and have an extra step to confirm user delete.

Awesome!

Fantastic, easy plugin and still works with WP 4.8.1! Thank you so much for saving me tons of time!

Awesome plugin, and a tremendous time saver

By charrot1 on September 3, 2016

This plugin does exactly what you expect it to do. I used it, and it saved me at least 5 hours of work. For this reason, I want to thank the developers for this fantastic plugin. This is a plugin that you'll use once in a while. But if you have an enormous mailing list, you may find yourself using it every day. It's these small, utility plugins, that are the best.
