Hello, I imported over 8,000 members from my SMF bridge over to Joomla, but I realized that I did not want to do that.  I want them to merge over to Joomla GRADUALLY as they login over time, because the mass member sync function provided by SMF caused problems with membergroups, etc.  Most of the users are over 2 years old anyway and a result of spam too.

So, I want to start fresh and simply delete ALL 8,000 members but I don't see a mass delete button.  The only way I see to do it is to use the user manage and delete them 50 at a time...which would take, uh, FOREVER.

These are the tables with user information in it. You would need to do mass removes with a sql command without deleting admin and other accounts you like. http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... l#msg74944

Do not *bump* your threads, please see the forum rules: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,65.0.html

If you have phpMyAdmin access to your database, you can empty some tables:

jos_users
jos_core_acl_aro
jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map
are all used by Joomla for managing the users...
I do not have the SMF tables at hand that contain the SMF user info

Sorry Peter for bumping my topic...

Okay, if I just empty out these tables though, it would also empty out my admin account too, right? (I have NO experience with MYSQL whatsoever...)

Is there a mass delete users script that I could use?

Also, a neat trick, open up your usermanager and change the url:

from:
administrator/index2.php?option=com_users&task=view

to:
administrator/index2.php?option=com_users&task=view&limit=1000

Then you can use the regular delete function
