Deleted username but can not use that username in other user

I don’t know. What is the username you’re trying to use?
Maybe you try a reserved username, but I guess you’d have a different message…
Also the previous user woudn’t have been able to choose it :man_shrugging:t6:

Here’s the code that checks if a username is already taken:

  USERNAME_EXISTS_SQL = <<~SQL
    (SELECT users.id AS id, true as is_user FROM users
    WHERE users.username_lower = :username)

    UNION ALL

    (SELECT groups.id, false as is_user FROM groups
    WHERE lower(groups.name) = :username)
  SQL

Any deleted user?

edit: I tried to rename a user the same name as a group, and it says the username must be unique. Maybe that’s your issue?
