A very touchy subject, you must be especially careful of not deleting minidisk holders and product installation ids. Make sure noone is doing READ or WRITE LINK commands to those minidisks.
I have worked with several companies and the policy for deleting unused userids that seems to work well is when you coordinate with your HR department. When an employee is gone, they notify the computer security administrators and only then is the ID deleted. We have VM:Secure here and use its HOLD feature. If an ID is on HOLD for 90 days, we then delete it from the system. If you bill for DASD space, my philosophy is, "If the department is willing to pay for the space, then leave the ID alone. A take-off from there is to send the department managers a list of the inactive ids (if you can define inactive) for them to identify any that may be deleted.
