Before droppping them and during say 2 weeks, lock the accounts and revoke all privileges granted on their objects.
If no one complains then you can drop them.

Regards
Michel

Just don't throw away the export before the next year-end-processing. We for example have a schema that is only used by the tax auditor once a year. Wink
