What is the difference between inactivating and deleting a user?
The difference between deactivating and temporarily deleting a user is that the user can access their account, including all their previous responses and results, with the same password when re-activated. When deleting a user, everything connected to this user profile will disappear. This means that even if you would create a new user with the same name and email address, the user would not be able to access their responses from previous surveys and would be asked to create a new password.
