Really happy, WoW finally!!
This about users deletion, is a very hard thing to be coded, and i've come across to decision that isn't really needed.
But let me well explain the reason.
Look this is on install doc on bottom, recently added:
How to DELETE USERS: wp_w3all do not add at moment a delete option for users, but you can remove users on both phpBB and WP with easy in this way: delete users in WordPress, so wp_w3all will set as deactivated in phpBB all these deleted WP users accounts: go in phpBB ACP, choose -> Users and Groups TAB: prune/delete (in one click!) all phpBB deactivated users accounts (use with care phpBB options about this!).
MORE NOTE about DELETION of users: you could use this behavior as an antispam method: a deleted user in WP with WP_w3all active, remain deactivated into phpBB until admin do not change his state. And until isn’t removed in phpBB, the associated username/email, will not be able to login/register in WP or phpBB. He could try to re-login into WP: will be re-added, but will be re-added as deactivated. The user re-addition as deactivated if the user will try to login when deleted only in WP, could be also prevented just editing a line of code into WP_w3all plugin code.
In phpBB using the powerful prune/delete (that you need to use with care because with a single click you can delete many things at once) you could do the user's cleanup in one single click, also once x year maybe. In phpBB, deactivated users, if you follow
ACP, choose -> Users and Groups TAB are ready displayed, or you can search for, in a single click. phpBB is much more advanced/powerful of WP about these kind of features.

. I will provide as soon the hint, or better, we will add it as option. A deactivated/deleted users, will not be added other time into WP nor as deactivated if he will try to re-login after his deletion in WP.
