Three questions:

1.Is it possible to delete user accounts after creating an account, especially if you have sent a random password and cant acquire the password?

2.Is it possible to change the password after creating the account if you have sent a randomly generated password to their email address?

3.Also, if you've selected to send a user a random password to their email when creating the account is it possible to resend this account verification email to them if they accidentally deleted it.

"1.Is it possible to delete user accounts after creating an account, especially if you have sent a random password and cant acquire the password?"

For help with Q1, you can try this Extension:UserMerge

2.Is it possible to change the password after creating the account if you have sent a randomly generated password to their email address?

Yes, the user himself can simply log in with the random password; afterwards he can change it as he likes. Should the question be, if someone else can change the password, e.g. an admin, because the user for some reason cannot log in: The maintenance script changePassword.php can do that.
