Is there a way that when an administrator deletes a user from a SharePoint group the user can be totally deleted .Presently when an admin deletes a user from the group he can still see the user in the User Information List and that's causing lot of confusion to the community administrators (Non -IT).They are seeing this list because when ever they edit the current view (Detail View) they are ending up in user information list and that's making them confused .So can you suggest me any power shell script which will delete the users in the user information list once they are deleted from the community

Thanks

Delete the user from the Site Collection. This will mark them as tp_Deleted != 0 in the UIL. Do not remove users from the UIL manually as this will break functionality on items the user was stamped on (e.g. Workflows will fail to start if that user saved them).

Thanks for the answer trevor but is there any automatic way of doing that may be through power shell – Anil Aug 22 '12 at 20:50
Also if you have multiple site collections you will need to delete them from each one. – Kit Menke♦ Aug 22 '12 at 22:39
