There may be a way to delete users, but a dangerous way. Use pg_dump to dump the wifidog
database in plain text. Use a text editor to delete the unwanted users. Then delete the wifidog
database and rebuild it using psql.
I have not done this, so I suggest that anyone that tries it to test a lot before doing it on a
production system.
