is there some additional way to really get rid of all traces, users, ACLs etc. pp. of an obsolete virtual host?

If you use some of the released versions ejabberd 2.0.x, you can install mod_ctlextra which implements a command similar to the one I explain here.

As I use ejabberd trunk SVN for development and betatesting, I installed mod_admin_extra in ejabberd trunk SVN. I executed this command that deletes all accounts in a vhost.

$ ejabberdctl delete_old_users_vhost example.org 0
Deleted 1 users: [{"testuser1","example.org"}]

Let's review what it does and doesn't.

About each account in the vhost, it will delete:
* authentication information (if you use internal auth)
* last activity information
* offline messages
* privacy lists
* private xml data
* roster
* vcard

It does not delete:
* roster items of users in other vhosts that have contacts in that vhost
* PubSub nodes
* PubSub subscriptions
* MUC rooms
* MUC affiliations
* MUC nick registration.

It does not delete configuration options ACL and Access. You can delete this in ejabberd.cfg and in the database (using Web Admin).
