Step 1: Add invalid user show validation message
Step 2: When add email with random text auto inserted without validation (bug)
step 3: Need to add validation code on else part.

@ravipatel I have added below change in updated patch.

1) Remove extract space before elseif
2) Use email field instead of user_email - Ref( ​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_user_by/ )

AFAIK the data removal also needs to support erasing data from guest users who have commented on your site but are not registered users on that site. Or users who have bought something in your ecommerce shop without signing up.

This patch prevents this from happening.

We discussed this in Core-Privacy today. The patch seems to be on the right path.
