Haven't made any automatic removals. But i'd suggest you look in the database, in the user table. And looking at it - you can sort it on time of joining (joined_year, month, day). It will definately be an account type user. (cause at least in my install only an admin can make someone an editor) Probably the easiest way to recognise those accounts is on the fields: pin & pinsettime. I think those get set after creating a new account, when the an email has been sent - as verification. So I assume that user records where those fields have a value other then NULL - means they are probably relatively new -and the user hasnt accessed them. Of course you'll have to be carefull not to delete genuine new user accounts. I'm sure someone else can give a much better and more detailed answer. Hope this still helps you a bit.
