Mark,

You could try using the following extensions:

List Deleted Content Author Users
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/List+Deleted+Content+Au
thor+Users

Change Content Author
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Change+Content+Author

They have helped me in the past to clean up deleted users.

Charlie

Its not exactly that. It does recreate your user exactly as it was.
But restoring a the user does not automatically add it in groups since this
information is not stored in the user profile.
