I have found a public API for deleting a user but I have found out that is a really bad idea. How in the API can I archive a user?

I would recommend doing this through the Web UI by clicking on User Management, and highlighting over the user name. This will create a button to archive the user. You can also run repotools to archive a user:
#repotools.bat -archiveUser

I need an API for doing this. I want to be able to archive periodically several users from several servers and going to the UI will get cumbersome.

For anyone interested, the code for archive user looks like this 


		IProgressMonitor monitor = new NullProgressMonitor();

		IContributorManager cmgr = repo.contributorManager();

		try {

			IContributor contributor = cmgr.fetchContributorByUserId(userId, monitor);

			contributor = (IContributor) contributor.getWorkingCopy();

			contributor.setArchived(true); 

			cmgr.saveContributor(contributor, monitor);	

		} (catch ....)
