function hook_user_delete

Respond to user deletion.

This hook is invoked from user_delete_multiple() before field_attach_delete() is called and before users are actually removed from the database.

Modules should additionally implement hook_user_cancel() to process stored user data for other account cancellation methods.

Parameters

$account: The account that is being deleted.
