How can I delete phantom User ID's in quota list?

When I go to the Quotas tab in Server Admin I notice that there are about 40 User ID's (1631, 1632, etc.) listed along with the 150 user names on our Xserve. These User ID's correspond to user accounts that I deleted last year or at the beginning of this school year. They are still listed as having their assigned quotas. However, the accounts do not show up in WorkGroup Manager.
Does anyone know why these accounts are still hanging around after I deleted the users in WGM, and how I can permanently delete them?
This is on a G5 Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
After doing some research on the internet I managed to find a solution to the problem. Try executing 'quotacheck -a' from the command line.
Quotacheck validates the file storage data with the quota information used to report quota information. There's some very good information at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-satdiskmon.html
They also suggest running this automatically using cron -- once a day should be fine.
Quotacheck description taken from the man pages:
+Quotacheck examines each filesystem, builds a table of current disk+
+usage, and compares this table against that recorded in the disk quota+
+file for the filesystem. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the+
+quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quotas are+
+updated (the latter only occurs if an active filesystem is checked). By+
+default both user and group quotas are checked.+
Regards,
Patrick

How can we delete apps, etc from the Previously Purchased list so that they don't show there anymore?

You can't currently permanently delete purchases, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases

How can I delete phantom/duplicate photos off my iPad?

Ever since I updated to iOS 6, I noticed that every photo in my iPhoto library appeared twice on my iPad. So I went into iTunes and unchecked Sync Photos. This should have deleted all photos from my iPad, right? Well, it didn't: all my photos are *still on my iPad* (there's only one of each photo now, though). This is taking up a lot of space. How can I get rid of these photos? I tried deleting them directly from my iPad, but it won't let me.
I even tried rebooting the iPad, then connecting it back to iTunes. It still has "sync photos" unchecked. So logically there shouldn't be any photos at all on my iPad. But there are. How can I get them off?

Never mind, I got it. AFAIK, it's a bug in iOS 6. It went away after I played around with iTunes for awhile. I did this:
- Told iTunes to sync photos individually by album.
- Made sure I had all the albums deselected, so logically, 0 photos should have been synced.
- Synced with my iPad a few times to make sure the phantom photos and albums went away. It took a few tries, but I got it.
- Then synced again to put all my photos back onto the iPad. No more phantom photos or albums or duplicates.

How can I delete iTunes user?

I have a old iTunes user and I want to delete it...
How can I do that?

Why would you give someone your account details? Presumably the problem is that you still have a credit card or other source of funding attached to the account and now other people are spending your money. Chances are that they have now changed the password making it harder for you to log in and remove your card details.
It turns out you can delete an account, although eventually you would permanently lose access to any protected purchases made with that account. What makes more sense is to deactivate the account and/or remove any credit card/other funding associated with it.
Try to sign in to the store with your account details or visit Apple ID Support and use the Recover your password link if you have been locked out of the account.

How can I delete my user pic under 10.6?

Hi there,
I want to delete my user pic. This was possible easily before 10.5 with the NetInfo Manager (if I remember correctly). On my actual system I can't find a way to delete the user pic. So I would be happy if you could give me a hint how to do that.
(A workaround would be to use a monochrome user pic, but this results in pixels in Mail-Printouts also. So this is not a solution I would prefer. I would delete the pic completely.)
Thanks in advance.

AFAIK you can't delete it altogether, you have to use one of the provided ones or your own. Probably you are aware that the picture isn't sent with outgoing mail: but if your concern is to keep it off printouts, you could replace it with a plain white square.

How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
You should get the following output below what you entered:
GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users. Is the output what you expect?

How can I delete a user account?

Hello, I did a little test and created a second user account, but now I can't delete it. The option to delete is grayed out, please help. Thanks.

You must logout and go back into the main (admin) account and delete it from there.

How can I delete a user or guest account on Mavericks?

I have a guest and another user account set up on my Mac. I tried deleting them, but couldn't.

Yes I did. All the conditions and actions stated by Mende1 above have been done.
I'm getting a feeling that an Adobe software update is involved in some convoluted way. I keep getting an Adobe message at log-in and it brings me to the Guest User log-in page although I have no desire to have any guest user use the Adobe CC software involved in the update.....that's why I don't care to have ANY guest user account. In the rare instance I let someone use my computer, I'm nearby, and they can use my account....but, that's extremely rare.
The default page for log-in after sleep is my account; that is checked in the User & Group Preferences. However, my computer is now opening on the Guest User page despite that.

Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".

How to remove User IDs for deleted users from the Disk Quota list

Hello,
We have a computer lab setup with an Xserve managing 15 stations in the lab. Users are setup with networked home directories and quota's are setup on the drive containing the home directories to limit users' storage.
The user account and the quota limit are setup with Workgroup Manager. When a student has been gone for a while and we are sure they no longer need the account we delete their account within Workgroup Manager and move their Home folder to the trash.
When viewing disk usage in Server Admin (by selecting the volume and clicking the Quatas tab) user ids for deleted users are listed and it still shows the disk usage and quota settings for the user.
How can I remove theses user ids from the quota list?
Any help would be appreciated.

I would restore User's file structre back to normal just by copying from standby user?
Did you mean copy files to a new user profile? If so, hope this link can be helpful for you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
For the unknown user, as you said, it's probably a user account from second OS or
action. If you're annoying about this unknown user, then you can remove all occurrences of granted rights to the specified SID with this command icals [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q]

Can you delete a user in OIM?

How can I delete a user in OIM, such that it does not clutter my results lists with an entry marked deleted? I just want it to disappear completely!
thanks

Here is how the user id can be reused, you will need to change the owner and tablespace names.
Execute the following steps in sqlplus
Step1: Drop the existing index
DROP INDEX XLAMD1.UDX_USR_LOGIN
Step2: create new Index
CREATE INDEX "XLADM1"."UDX_USR_LOGIN"
ON "XLADM1"."USR" ("USR_LOGIN")
TABLESPACE "XELTBS1" PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE ( INITIAL 64K NEXT 0K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS
2147483645 PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1)
LOGGING
Step3:
COMMIT;
Step4:
Design Console-> System Configuration
Set "User Id reuse property" to true

Can i delete all users in one go?

I am using SAP authentication. Afer defining my Entitlement system, under options i did not chose to Import users for the imported role.
But All users for the imported rloe are imported. i dont want all users. It is painful as well to delete each user at a time for 500 users. How can i delete all users in a sinlge go?
Please help
--Krish

This may ork: Try to set the Force user synchronization option under CMC->Authentication->SAP->Options and remove the role temporarily.
Such a behaviour can be xeplained only through the setting of the option Automatically import users under CMC->Authentication->SAP->Options . Even for a short period of time.
You MUST create a role that contains only the SAP users you want to accept in your BOBJ system and import this role in the CMC
