 * When I try to delete the user and click on the delete confirmation button, a 
   link expire message pops up and user is still there.
 * Is there another way I can delete users?

 * check in the database connected to your website
    in some webhosting plans, the
   area containing the database is in PHPMYADMIN look for USER and USERMETA tables
   in your database make a complete backup before making any changes to your database
   use caution when deleting a user— you might need to reassign content created 
   to another user. might be helpful to reduce user role to subscriber

 * I use phpmyadmin and just delete the line with the user name on it if I have 
   trouble.
