From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: After deleting a user with User Manager, the user's mail spool still remains in /var/spool/mail/. Mail spools from old users must be cleaned up manually. This is only a slight annoyance, but it is inconsistent with the behavior of 'userdel -r', and a prompt to remove the spool would be a nice feature. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.5-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on "Delete" to delete user. Actual Results: User's mail spool still exists in /var/spool/mail/. Expected Results: Should be prompted to remove user's mail spool, as with removing the user's home directory. (Possibly include info about spool size to determine whether it's full/empty?) Additional info:
This is a good suggestion - especially for systems with large amounts of users.
Fixed in system-config-users-1.2.27 and later. Note that it only asks whether to delete _all_ of home directory, mail spool, temp files to not clutter up the UI.
