  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Bulk user actions.
  2. Select the users for which you wish to set a deleted purge type (you may need to filter if you have a large number of users on your site).
  3. Click Add to selection
  4. Select Set deleted purge type from the With selected users dropdown. 
  5. Click Go.
  6. Select the deleted purge type you wish to set.

You can select multiple users at once using the CTRL ( or CMD) key on your keyboard. 

Users can be filtered according to full name, surname, first name, email address, city/town, country, confirmed, first access, last access, last login, username, and authentication.

Custom profile fields will also be available from the Profile dropdown box.
