The site that I am working on has a tag that links to a file (image) posted by a user that is unacceptable. The elgg site administrator needs to safely remove that image and the tag that can call it. The tag_cumulus plugin is installed. I am presuming that this will involve some sql to remove it from the MySQL DB.
Is there a doc or walk through that will guide me through this? Or is this a totally stupid request cause I have missed something glaringly obvious?
Thanks
Steve

DB manipulations for this could become messy ;-)
easier option = goto elggusers_entity table
find that user
change his email to yours
reset password
you get new password
login as that user and delete the image
;-)
OK - That makes sense. Try and steer clear of messing with the DB I think at this point.
Still getting my head around a lot of this. Does a user delete by the admin also remove any content that user has put up?
Some one was posted a long tag please i want to remove
admins can edit existing objects through the website front-end, no need for database manipulation.
just click 'edit' on the object and delete the tag.
