Hi! I've notice that when I delete one module or one user, it is still present on database and the column IsDeleted is steed to true. I'd like to know how to definitively delete from database modules and users deleted.

Thanks

To fully delete modules and pages, go to the Recycle Bin page, and clear the Recycle Bin.

I don't believe there is an option to fully delete users, other than manually deleting them from the database.  The intention in using the IsDeleted column for users instead of just deleting their information, is that some modules relate their data to users (for example, the forums module associates each post with a user).  If that user is deleted, it can cause the module trouble, since it can't look up that user's information anymore.

Hope that helps,

 In addition to the module integrity issue described above, maintaining information about users who have otherwise been deleted is an important component of maintaining strong audit trails, and ultimately intertwined with non-repudiation of any particular transaction that that user might have been involved in.
