[Bug 1319634] [NEW] deleting users via bulk delete causes error

 

Public bug reported:

The problem reported in this forum post:
https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=6312&offset=0&limit=10#post26718

"When I try to delete users in bulk (50+ users) I get the message "site
is unavailable" A non recoverable error occurred."

It turned out to be a problem with users having artefacts for plugins
that are not in the mahara codebase anymore.

There needs to be some rules created around this problem, possibly
something as simple as, if deleting a user and they have orphaned
artefacts then delete them as the first step before going off to delete
all the relevant things that get deleted for a user.

** Affects: mahara

    Milestone: None => 1.10.0
