I asked this once before and got no response.  But hope springs eternal...

Has anyone successfully used the "Patrons (anonymize, bulk-delete)" tool available in Koha? We have found neither to work as expected. It acts as if it *thinks* it is anonymizing and/or deleting but does not actually do it.

Alternately, if that is known not to work, what might it take to bulk delete patrons at the database level? What kind of a mess will I leave behind if I simply delete patrons from the borrowers table? I assume a normal delete would check to make sure the patron does not have outstanding fines, checked out books, etc. Just whacking the borrowers table won't check those things. So what all else do I need to check before deletion?

Thanks,
Tom
