### [Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-4293/)
[katso](https://profiles.wordpress.org/katso/) Kevardhu 10, 2024
I was so excited to find this plugin! But maybe its not working with my version
of wordpress? (latest on this date)Whichever filter I set, it returns no users.
Whereas I’m certain I have several thousand fake user accounts…. I’ll be very happy
to change my review if it works!
### [Works as Best as Possible !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-best-as-possible/)
[Milad Jafari](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miladjfr/) Gortheren 1, 2024
Helped me remove 8000 Spam users ! That was really helpful
### [Works like a charm](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-2327/)

The plug-in works great, I was able to delete hundreds of spam users who just signed
up for the site, thank you very much
### [Great stuff](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/certainly-helpful/)

Hmm, it is useful but not working the way I think it is supposed to.5000 record(
s) are shown, I click mark all, I click delete all marked users -> 985 users are
being deleted. Still better than doing it without the plugin but why cant I delete
all (~20k) users being found with the flags I selected, or at lest the 5000 I had
marked?Anyhow, give it a try maybe it works for you.Also, it is free so big thanks
to the creator.
### [Great but I have a question reguarding inactive users](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-but-i-have-a-question-reguarding-inactive-users/)
[werny](https://profiles.wordpress.org/werny/) Mis-Genver 26, 2023 1 reply
The plugin is great.I installed it to delete all my inactive users (users who have
not logged in over 12 months).But in order to find those users I have to install
the plugin WP Last Login.But this plugin only counts all logins after the day of
the installation.So it does not really make sense to find the “sleeping Users”.Is
there another, better way to find all the inactive users?Thanks for your help.
### [Plugin works 100%](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-works-100-2/)
