Expected behaviour Administrators should be able to immediately delete user accounts, or configure the deletion delay instead of being forced to wait 60 days.

Reproduction steps

1. Log in as an instance administrator.
2. Open the Admin Panel.
3. Navigate to the user management page.
4. Select a user account.
5. Attempt to permanently delete the account.

Summary

This issue was opened following a request from maintainer Kamalaja in Discussion #1235. Currently, the Admin Panel only allows scheduling account deletion with a mandatory minimum deletion period of 60 days. While this may be appropriate for user-initiated account deletion, it unnecessarily restricts instance administrators. Administrators should be able to permanently delete user accounts immediately, or at least configure the deletion delay. This is especially useful for:

• Spam or abusive accounts
• Duplicate accounts
• Test accounts
• Accounts removed at the user's request

At the moment, the only workaround is direct database manipulation, which should not be necessary for routine administrative tasks.

Current behavior

The deletion can only be scheduled and enforces a minimum deletion period of 60 days.
