This test requires a course containing activities, including a forum, and a student who is enrolled in the course.

The test also requires admin access. If you would like to use the QA testing site for running this test, please see the QA testing guide for details of how to request admin access. Begin just after the hourly reset to give yourself plenty of time to complete the test!

1. Log in as a student in the course and participate in a few activities, including adding a new discussion topic in the forum and replying to a forum post.
2. Log out then log in as an administrator and go to Site administration / Users / Accounts / Browse list of users.
3. If necessary, use the filter to find the student and then delete their account.
4. Go to the course and verify that the student is no longer listed as a participant.
5. Verify that the student's data in various activities has been deleted, with the exception of their forum posts.
