I20120605

When a user is deleted, we don't delete their workspace or projects. It's not clear whether this should always happen or not. For example when self-hosting on localhost I might not want my user data deleted.

See WebUser.delete()

The other approach to be considered is having a separate admin-level utility for deleting orphan content. See bug 357566.

Let's put up a warning, but go ahead and delete user contents when user is deleted. When self-hosting there is rarely a need to delete the user.

I tested this and it is already resolved.

We should make it clear this will happen in the warning message. Currently the warning does not say anything about the user's data being removed.
