Anybody here familiar with Django framework? - Mate. - Apr 12, 2018
Hi, I creating a sign up/sign in page but having toruble deleting use info form the database if the user doesn't confirm the email address.
I want the process to go like this:
> User signs up
> If user confirms their email within 1 day, their account becomes active
If user doesn't confirm their email in the given time frame, then the temp info saved about their profile (username/email) is deleted from the email.

You're going to want to use a cron job or because you're using python, you can also use celery; there are background task libraries for Django I believe as well
Basically, in the cron job, you'd get the current time then compare against when created to see if it's been a day or not and then delete those accounts that are expired
