    hi there,

    just discovered that in my wp_registration_log and wp_signup tables there are hundreds of people/email addresses left over from spammers and so on and so forth.

    whats the easiest way to clean it up?

    would there maybe be a code for the powertools plugin to delete all that don't actually have an active blog/user at the moment?

    This Plugin will take care of everything deleted spam, users deleted, deleted blogs and posts, just about everything you need it to do it can do!!

    Just go into database and delete the file on your server if you know how to do this?

    well its not a file, its a table, and yes, I can clean it out manually, but I wouldn't want to delete existing and active users, and I don't want to manually check a 400 entries list for 12 active users and delete all others...

    that is why I was asking for a code to use powertools and do it automatically?

    Do you mean records for people who register but do not activate? Does WPMU not handle this automatically? i.e. users that do not activate through the email are deleted automatically after 2/3 days?

    Going to make me log into a server. I thought I was going to get away with not doing so this morning.... :)

    wp_signups is the one that gets emptied after 48 hours.

    I would leave wp_r_log alone to be honest as that is a record of where folks are signing up from. We use it to check against known spammers to see if they;ve signed up any other accounts.

    wp-signups does not seem to clean out activated emails even after I delete the users. Therefore, I am unable to reuse email addresses for test users unless I go in and manually clean them out. What can I do to fix this?
