NOTE: If you plan to use Archive Explorer to run any historical reports that may include information about the user, do not delete the user. Deleting the user causes the loss of some historical data. Instead, clear the Active checkbox to make the user inactive. This removes access to the user from Responder Explorer while preserving any historical data related to the user.
