How can I ensure that users have nothing assigned to them?

We are approaching our limit for the number of users . . . but we include people who left the company many years ago.  I have been through the issues and ensured that all are either assigned to people who are still here or are unassigned - i.e. nothing is assigned to people who are no longer here.

How can I ensure that there is nothing else linked to them before I delete them, please?
