I am using Drupal version 5.17 and have installed the VBO module. The documentation shows that one of the settings options is "Delete User", but that option does not appear in the actual settings in my installation.
Do I have something configured improperly, or is this a code snippet I need to add?

The Delete action is only
The Delete action is only available for D6.
That's actually not true. The
That's actually not true. The Delete action also exists for D5, but it is packaged as a D6-compatible action, i.e. for Actions 5.x-2.x.
RE: VBO Question - (Views Bulk Operations)
So how do I access the Delete action on my v5.18 installation? It still does not show as an option when I use the module.
Can you see the other action
Can you see the other action that is bundled with VBO, namely "Modify node's taxonomy terms" ?
RE: VBO Question - (Views Bulk Operations)
I updated the Actions module and the Delete option became available.
Thanks
having the exact same problem
I installed VBO expressly for the delete option, but it is not showing. There is a delete.action.inc file in the module folder, but no option within the settings. Do I need to add the actions module, or will this just complicate things?
I just installed VBO yesterday, so I am not sure how or why I would "update" - am I missing something.
Using Drupal 5.

The answer is just above: http://drupal.org/node/457752#comment-1593988
I am afraid I don't know what that means.

Does this mean I need to enable the Actions module for 5.x in order to see the delete option?
Sorry for my cluelessness. I don't mean to be a "help vampire", I have been trying to figure out how to erase over 750 nodes at once for 2 days now. I feel I am so close, but I have hit a brick wall. I have been through the view I made with VBO and I really can't find anything about erase node or "Modify node's taxonomy terms", however there are two files in the bundle that make me think it has to be somewhere - taxonomy.action.inc and delete.action.inc.
taxonmomy.action.inc should maybe make "Modify node's taxonomy terms" appear within the interface, however I can not find this anywhere on the site. Nor can I find anything about bulk delete. If someone could hold my hand for a minute, I promise to donate my time to answer forums within my abilities.
Thank you for your time.

No worries-- i just wasn't sure if you saw that comment or not.
it's been a while since I've worked with d5, but yes, if you install http://drupal.org/project/actions along with vbo, you should then get the delete action. Post back if it doesn't work.
