Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 wp_delete_user() only removes the user from the current site if used in
 multisite. The user does not actually get deleted from the database.

 [https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/1072 WP-CLI just ran into this].
 I'd be a huge fan of explicit core APIs for each behavior —
 `wp_delete_user()` seems to do too much right now.
