We have 600+ spam members which we’d like to delete. I have the unique ‘member_id’ value for each of them.
Can I simply delete those records from the ‘exp_members’, ‘exp_member_data’, and ‘exp_member_homepage’ tables?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi, goodnetwork,
You can delete them by editing the three tables you mentioned. It probably wouldn’t hurt to make a backup copy of those tables first.
Does that help?

Yes, thanks for the official confirmation. I will do a backup on those tables before I delete the rows.
I appreciate the quick response!
Thanks,
Chuck
