Looks like this is a bug and at the moment you need to delete the comment:

> [@User deletion problem, returns "Error 500" on delete all posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-deletion-problem-returns-error-500-on-delete-all-posts/397700/3):
>
> Thanks! Your guess was spot on. User had few flagged posts by moderators and one of them had a note added. After deleting the note I could then successfully delete user all users posts and user it self. By the way, is the bug already fixed in default branch? Maybe it’s time for updates. EDIT: note on version/build for reference of any others that maybe encounter similar issue: v2026.1.0-latest mid-January container build on default tests-passed branch.
