I have recently tried to delete one of my accounts https://kiwifarms.cc/icameheretoawoo it logged me out and started the usual deletion process but then stopped at 1803 posts. I then found that I was able to log back into and tried deleting it again this time with it stopping at 533.

The account did originally have approx. 10500 posts so that may of had an effect on the first deletion.

I then found that I was able to log back

We should probably deactivate the user after the deletion has started

but then stopped at 1803 posts

Weird, user deletions are backed by an in-database job queue so even if the instance was restarted it should have continued. I think we may be hitting a timeout somewhere, though I don't see anything obvious in the code. @CrunkLord420 could you check the logs for errors that may be related?

I checked the old account again and tried to start the deletion process again. It logged me out but hasn't appeared to of started deleting posts yet.

Can confirm this issue, it's impacted multiple users on my and remote instances. Causes loss of everyone you're following, yet the account doesn't actually get deleted.

Just bumping this, we should investigate.

Looking through the current version of this, I don't see how this should stop anymore. Closing this until we have new reports.
