Weird little problem. I am trying to purge my xwiki of a lot of users
who have left. But when I delete the user, go to another part of the
XWiki and come back to the users page, all my deletions are magically
back.
I'm logged in as Admin.
Any ideas?

Another note,
All of these users have weird First Name Last Name fields:
$user.getObject('XWiki.XWikiUsers').get('first_name')
$user.getObject('XWiki.XWikiUsers').get('last_name')
This was probably a remanent of when our site was spammed and we bulk
deleted users. This may be the root of the problem, but we still
don't know how to address it.

How exactly did you delete the users? From the displayed usernames, it
looks like the XWikiUsers object attached to the document was deleted,
but the document itself was left in place.

It's probably an instance of this (just sent to devs list). The search
engine, or some user, is restoring your removed user/document by clicking
'restore'....

Lets say you delete a spam user, e.g.
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax via the
administration tools.
You then log out as admin.
Now, as an unregistered user, browse /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax
You'll be given a link to 'Restore' the deleted file e.g.
/xwiki/bin/undelete/XWiki/xanax?id=47
When an unregistered user clicks 'Restore' the file is restored (!! bug
!!).
Fortunately if the "restored" account is used for login, the user can't
view or edit any files. IMHO there ought to be an additional option on
deleting users which will also remove the account from the recyclebin or not
recycle accounts.
Unfortunately, if there's a file you wanted deleted, apparently an
unregistered user will be able to find out it was there (say, through a
search engine), and restore it if they want to.
This is on 1.8RC2.
