Auto Increment after delete in MySQL

Question

I have a MySQL table with a primary key field that has AUTO_INCREMENT on. After reading other posts on here I\'ve noticed people with the same problem and with varied answer

Its definitely not recommendable. If you have a large database with multiple tables, you may probably have saved a userid as id in table 2. if you rearrange table 1 then probably the intended userid will not end up being the intended table 2 id.
