Hi, I created a test user, and now as an admin, I’m trying to delete that user, but I cannot as I get: There was an error deleting that user. Make sure all posts are deleted before trying to delete the user. There is only one “private topic” listed, which I believe is the welcome post. How can …

Yeah I would suspect the group in this case. Can we repro this @jomaxro ?

Confirmed that disabling the group auto-add for the user’s email domain AND manually removing them from the group let me delete the user.

I still cannot repro this :disappointed:. I have a group autogroup that all users with gmail.com emails are added to, including existing users, and set a primary. I can still delete a user who signs up using Google oAuth2 or via local logins and is added to the group. ▶ Group settings screenshot

When trying to delete from admin, is it giving no response and then later you get an error message? I’ve seen that recently.

I get the error message that @tobiaseigen posted above when going through the UI. When I attempt to anonymize I get a pop up that reads, There was a problem anonymizing the account. Looking at production.log I can see the following: Started DELETE "/admin/users/8911.json" for {BLOCKED_IP} at 2018…

yep. though in this case they were created because I emailed out to them by creating a new message including their email address.
