In the backend, when selecting multiple users in the users management > view students (in groups) or view students (in courses) area, and choosing the delete option, the system is only actually deleting one user at a time regardless of the # selected.

Is this a bug? Allowing for multiple deletions would greatly decrease admin time when trying to manage enrollment via global groups and courses.

When viewing users in a specific course in the frontend's User and Group Management area, multiple deletions seems to work, but since global groups are selected, I have no way of deleting multiple users via their group in the the front or back end. Am I overlooking something?

Can anyone weigh in on this?

Unfortunately this cannot be fixed quickly. Removing a student is not just removing one database record, system tries to clean up all their tracking information, grades, results, quizzes attempts information etc. and therefore such operation can take a lot of resources. Removing several users at once can raise some problems with memory limitation and script can stop to work without removing entire user information from database and some "loose ends" will still remain in your database. In our next release we will review this part of the system and will try to make it as user-friendly as possible.
