 * I have taken over a site that was hacked and now has 21,000 users that are all
   admins as well as me. if I bulk delete all the admin users, will it delete me
   as well or keep me safe? I noticed while deleting users at 20 at a time, including
   me, it wouldn’t delete me. Would the plugin delete me as well as the other thousands
   of admin users? Let me know. Thanks!

 * If you are trying to delete the users based on the user role, then yes, it will
   delete all admin users (including you).
 * One workaround that you can do is to briefly create a different user role with
   the same capabilities as admin, assign your user name to it and then just delete
   all the users from admin user role.
