I have tested this with a dummy course and user
first the BAD NEWS
Deleteting a user account deletes anything they have done in the course
with the exception of items in the digital drop box. (even grades and
discussion board entries go) SO DO NOT accidentally delete users during
the year or give instructors the rights to do so!
next the GOOD NEWS
If you ARCHIVE a course site before deleting student accounts (such as you
might at the end of each year) and later RESTORE the course from the
archive, the student account along with all of the grades,discussion board
entries etc are restored. Even the students personal information such as
homepage, personal details, electric blackboard, and drop box content are
restored fully.
