Discussion

Deleting an author from the system is a drastic move that should be considered carefully.

If you only want to remove an author from a particular weblog, edit the author's permissions. (See "Controlling What an Author Can Do in the System".) Deleting an author will remove the author from the system entirely. Any entries or other content created by the author will not be deleted; however things such as their author name will not be displayed when pages are published.
