I’m getting this error repeatedly after a recent update:

@Pad_Pors do you have the full traceback - including the error being raised?

Did you manage to have a look at the state of @Pad_Pors’s DB? Otherwise, we’ll need the exact error message to be sure of what is going on.

@LeoMcA I didn’t get what I’m supposed to do. here is what I get in admin panel (but they are already there in the OP):
**info** :
`Job exception: UserDestroyer::PostsExistError`

No, but I did manage to reproduce the backtrace exactly, and the exception also matches:

Can you provide me with the repro steps? Thank you 🙂

Uuuh, sort-of. I did it using an rspec test - so repro steps would be:
```
git remote add LeoMcA https://github.com/LeoMcA/discourse.git
git fetch LeoMcA remove_duplicated_without_posts
git checkout LeoMcA/remove_duplicated_without_posts -- spec/jobs/fix_primary_emails_for_staged_users_spec.rb
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rspec spec/jobs/fix_primary_emails_for_staged_users_spec.rb
```
Which should produce the output:
```
F.

1) Jobs::FixPrimaryEmailsForStagedUsers should keep the duplicated staged user with posts

OK in that case, we need to transfer all existing posts on the duplicated user to the only user that we’re keeping.
