Guys, thank you, both of you, I have searched hi and low for examples of this and found none. A question, would the example code you have posted behave in the same way as the delete function does in the Auth admin application, in that it would not just delete the user, but also all the profile objects and things like that that are associated with that username?
I got a response in a post here: http://groups.google.com/group/pinax-users/browse_thread/thread/deda8f90e2581bc7/678332bf89130740?lnk=gst&q=delete+usres#678332bf89130740 That mentioned use of a Forien Key to get this data?
