I have two users in my system that were just recently, accidentally created and block their usernames. I would like to delete them, or at least rename them, so that “real” users can get their names.
So I go to the user page in the admin interface, and I press “Delete User”. However, now Discourse complains it cannot delete the user and I should check for posts. Well, these users never posted, and their post count on the same page is 0. How can I delete these users?
I also tried renaming the user, by pressing “Rename User”. However, then I end up on `/404`.
This is with a Discourse just re-built this morning, `version: stable`, version 1.4.6.

I am seeing this error in the logs:
```plaintext
PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "group_managers" does not exist
LINE 5: WHERE a.attrelid = '"group_managers"'::regcla...
^
: SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), a.attnotnull, a.atttypid, a.atttypmod
FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
WHERE a.attrelid = '"group_managers"'::regclass
AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
ORDER BY a.attnum
```
I guess that’s related?

Both of these issues were fixed by updating to version `v1.5.0.beta11`. Whatever…
