Hi Oren,
I am posting the answer given to the galaxy-dev mailing list below for
other users, even thought this is a development topic. Next time, please
only post to a single mailing list.
Thanks!

Hi Oren,
Hrm, it looks like the option to delete users was removed from the
interface since it couldn't be made conditional on a configuration
setting (due to a limitation in Galaxy's "Grids" feature, which is used
to display the table of users in the UI). They can be added by
uncommented lines 98-100 in lib/galaxy/web/controllers/admin.py:
#operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Delete", condition=(
lambda item: not item.deleted ), allow_multiple=True ) )
#operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Undelete", condition=(
lambda item: item.deleted and not item.purged ), allow_multiple=True ) )
#operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Purge", condition=(
lambda item: item.deleted and not item.purged ), allow_multiple=True ) )

method.
mark_user_deleted() in lib/galaxy/web/base/controller.py. The preferred
method for implementing API methods is by moving the code in the web UI
controller which performs the actual action to lib/galaxy/actions/ and
then changing the API and UI methods to call that method. See the
implementation of the Quota API for a reference.

Thanks for reporting these, we'll fix them as soon as possible. I've
created a bitbucket here to track them:

Dear All,
Is it possible to delete a galaxy user or multiple users with a UI call
or an API call?
Thanks,
