How to properly delete a user from WordPress?

The GDPR or General Data Privacy Regulation enables the website users to request their personal information deleted from the site registry. The site owner (registrar) has to delete all necessary information as extensively as possible when requested and one of the most relevant personal information in WordPress is the user and its metadata.

When deleting WordPress users it's important to note that when a user is deleted, the posts made by the user are also deleted. It is important to remember to transfer all the content made by the deleted user to another user BEFORE deletion.
