      Problem Definition

      Starting from Confluence 6.13, admins can delete users that are unsynced from Confluence. Unsynced users are users that are not synced any more when an external user directory is being synchronized. This could be because the user has been removed from the external directory or it is because the user directory filters no longer include that user etc.
      While this feature is useful, the current implementation only allows the deletion of these users individually and there is no option to perform bulk delete.

      Suggested Solution

      Having the bulk delete feature would greatly help.

            Also is it possible to have a workaround for the bulk delete directly through the database? we're facing issues to load the unsynced users through the GUI due to huge number of users in our DB.

            Honestly, I would expect the sync config to have a checkbox "sync deletions" to just set and forget about it, maybe with the option to anonymize content if the user ever edited anything.

            4 years have passed, hundreds of users have been asking for the feature to be developed, and still, nothing is happening.

            Better mention that the vote is useless. Nobody in Atlassian never looks at voting.

            Comments at least bump the ticket up their backlog or notification system.

            Yes please! 60k users who've never used the system now needing deleting and it's painful to do by hand!
