Hi Mariusz, Correct, in DSpace 7 it is possible to delete user accounts (EPerson objects) without having to delete all their past submissions, etc. This was added to better support GDPR guidelines (right to be forgotten). When the user account is deleted, their past submissions remain, but all revert to having a "null" submitter. For more details see the PR which made this change at https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2229
