+# There are two levels in user deactivation/deletion:
+#
+# The first one is user deactivation which is what you performed. After deactivating a user, 
+# that user becomes archived and you can still search him/her and read their messages in 
+# channels.
+#
+# The second is user deletion. You can do this via a CLI command. Note that when you permanently 
+# delete a user, all their posts and past activities will get permanently deleted.
+
+
+# Permanently delete a user and all related information, including posts from the database.

+#    mattermost user delete <users>

+# Note:
+#    Does not delete content from the file storage. You can manually delete all file uploads 
+#    for a given user as uploads contain the CreatorId field. User profile pictures are stored 
+#    in data/users/<userid>/profile.png.
