I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Confirmation
I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
My current OpenWebUI has suddenly gained over 70,000 new users. I'm not sure if this is due to an attack or a bug. Therefore, I hope there is a feature for batch deleting users. Is this possible? How can it be done?
Actual Behavior

If you have setted Enable New Sign Ups I recommended set Default User Role as pending, if not bots do this (this happened to me too, but testing and without significantly data, I just deleted DB)
For delete its i'm affraid that you have to do it directly over db.

Should be considered missing feature/feature request instead of issue, as rgaricano said, you should not allow registrations if you are exposing your Open WebUI to the internet
