Is this the correct way to do it?
DELETE t1, t2, t3, t4 FROM
table1 as t1
INNER JOIN table2 as t2 on t1.id = t2.id
INNER JOIN table3 as t3 on t1.id=t3.id
INNER JOIN table4 as t4 on t1.id=t4.id
WHERE t1.username='%s' AND t1.id='%s'

Yes, that is correct. It works fine here:
CREATE TABLE table1 (id int, username nvarchar(30));
CREATE TABLE table2 (id int);
CREATE TABLE table3 (id int);
CREATE TABLE table4 (id int);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1, 'Foo'),(2, 'Bar');
INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (1),(2);
INSERT INTO table3 VALUES (1),(2);
INSERT INTO table4 VALUES (1),(2);
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1;
2
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table2;
2
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table3;
2
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table4;
2
DELETE t1, t2, t3, t4 FROM
table1 as t1
INNER JOIN table2 as t2 on t1.id = t2.id
INNER JOIN table3 as t3 on t1.id=t3.id
INNER JOIN table4 as t4 on t1.id=t4.id
WHERE t1.username='Foo' AND t1.id='1';
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1;
1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table2;
1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table3;
1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table4;
1
If it's not working for you, perhaps you can modify this example to show what problem you are having.
An easy way to figure it out is to first write it as a query:
SELECT * FROM
table1 as t1
INNER JOIN table2 as t2 on t1.id = t2.id
INNER JOIN table3 as t3 on t1.id=t3.id
INNER JOIN table4 as t4 on t1.id=t4.id
WHERE t1.username='%s' AND t1.id='%s'
If you get the results you expect, just replace the *Select ** with Delete and your table names. Then it would become:
Delete t1, t2, t3, t4 From table1 as t1
INNER JOIN table2 as t2 on t1.id = t2.id
INNER JOIN table3 as t3 on t1.id=t3.id
INNER JOIN table4 as t4 on t1.id=t4.id
WHERE t1.username='%s' AND t1.id='%s'
Make it simple with:
DELETE FROM `Table1` t1, `Table2` t2 USING t1, t2
WHERE t1.`id` = t2.`id` AND t1.`id` = 10; <br>
Enjoy :)
