When I try to delete an account with CiviMail activity I get an error.  Looks like might be because of the activity records from CiviMail.  Is this related and is there a way to delete activity records other than one by one from the activity screen?

These posts might be related (but I'm on CiviCRM 1.9.11960):

Maybe a feature rather than a bug or maybe other steps necessary if have activity?

When I'm logged in the administrator account, I get:

    Deleted Contact(s): 0

        * Total Selected Contact(s): 1

        * The contact record which is linked to the currently logged in user account - "davebean@ecentral.com" - can not be deleted.

When I'm not the admin user, but have authority I get more information:
Find Contacts

    Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
