[JDEV] Unregister (delete user) how?

[David Waite]

There is no standard way to delete users for reuse - just to disable the
accounts, as you have found. The neccessary steps to delete the user
from the system will be to disable the account, to kick off all online
user sessions on that account, to send presence unsubscriptions to all
the users on the roster, and delete all data relating to the user. The
first three are pretty simple, the last is very difficult; no mechanism
in place and no simple rules exist to identify what data belongs to a
user.
