now using another PC.
chrome Version 75.0.3770.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I am using the latest code. we are 2 administrators. I am NOT the super Admin.
Now when I run the script, It openes only one "remove" window, and deletes the first non admin user, but then it is refreshed exits .
From one hand I see it "catches 15 elements in the group , but it appears only one "remove" window is being opened.

Tried it on Opera too.
Same result. It deletes the first member who is not an admin, wait 10 secs, refresh and exit, instead of deleted the next member.

Removes one member (not admin, which is good, since I should be the last).... THEN it returns an error message and the process stops.
Here is the error:

jquery-1.8.2.min.js:2 Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response https://api.ipify.org/?format=json with MIME type application/json. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768 for more details.

hello,
is it possible to change the code so, it skips the admins, moderators and the pre-approved members? for example to start deleting from member number 100 so it skips the admins and moderators and preapproved lists?
or to delete only members added on exact dates ?

thanks
