7.4. Batch Deleting Users

Last Updated 08/28/2025


Deleting Multiple Patrons from a Bucket


On This Page

Instructions for using a User Bucket to delete multiple patrons at once.


Prior to deleting patrons, make sure they have all been marked Inactive. For instructions on this process, see Marking Patrons Inactive in the Managing Existing Patron Accounts chapter.

To batch delete users in a bucket:

  1. From the Circulation menu, select User Buckets.
  2. Navigate to the Bucket View tab.
  3. Click on Buckets and select the bucket you want to modify from the list of existing buckets. After selecting a bucket, the name, description, number of items, and creation date of the bucket will appear at the top of the screen.
  4. Verify the list of users in the bucket and click Delete all users. A dialog box called Delete all users will appear.
  5. Assign a Name for delete set. This name will allow staff to identify the batch deletion for future verification or rollbacks.
  6. Click Apply Changes. All users in the bucket will be marked as deleted.

Batch deleting patrons from a user bucket does not use the Purge User functionality, but instead marks the users as deleted.

For details about deleting patrons individually, see Deleting Patron Accounts in the Managing Existing Patrons chapter.
