Currently PacketFence won’t modify entries from a LDAP directory. The 
suggestion from Hari to manage your guest accounts from an LDAP directory is 
good, but you’ll need to rely on an external tool to manage your directory’s 
entries. Also, any guest that has registered through PacketFence appears on the 
Users page, even if the user has authenticated through a LDAP source. So you 
end up with a similar problem where the users table (actually named “person”) 
gets polluted with entries related to users that have possibly been deleted 
from the original LDAP directory.

I think the feature you want is simply missing and should be developed. Like on 
the Nodes page, we should offer bulk actions on multiple users, including the 
option to delete the selected users. Notice that deleting a user is currently 
impossible if it has associated nodes. That should be improved to at least 
offer the possibility to unregister all associated nodes and remove all history 
of the user’s data.

There are a few opened tickets related to node deletion:
