Deleted User not Completely Removed

When I delete a user from my mac and later create a new user with the same name, OS X will ask me to recreate an existing user. The new user will have a reduced set of folders in it's account, objects that were on the desktop will be recreated too.
I have to delete the user first, then delete the admin user's cache files, log out, then log in again, bevore this effect is gone.
Anybody else seen this strange behaviour? I'd call it a bug...

Thank you for your hint.
The key point of this "execise" is to recreate a user that has exactly the same name...
One possibility could be to create a new user with a different name and rename the full name field accordingly.
I'll try this later and report back.

Deleted Users Not Completely Deleted

I had a test user account configured for some time, so in an attempt to duplicate your problem I just deleted it using the option "delete the home folder". I subsequently created a new Standard account with the same name. I wasn't asked to recreate the account and it appears the new account is brand new with default settings. Logged in, skipped the Apple ID question, logged out.
I then deleted the account and created another with the same name. Log in / log out etc. Deleted the account. Created a new account with the same name. Nothing new.
So, using Mountain Lion I can't recreate this. It's a mystery.
Perhaps it has something to do with the Apple ID, which I did not create for the test user?

Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user

Hello.
I have Exchange 2010SP3 2 DAG member in cluster.
Recently i have warning in app log on a second DAG member:
Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user GUID.Encountered error 0xfffffae8. Should this message continue to persist for the same mailbox, it may be indicative of a problem that requires further investigation.
I read all post wich say just unmount and mount database.
I can't find any user wich have guid containted in error.
So that i need to do?
Can i use StartDAGmaintenance and reboot a server,then after reboot use StopDAGmaintenance?

Hi,
I suggest to refer to this blog to find this mailbox by GUID.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2010/04/22/how-to-find-the-object-that-belongs-to-a-guid.aspx
Then check which database this mailbox belongs to, dismount and mount this database.
Best Regards.

Time Machine does not completely remove old Backups

Hi all,
since the upgrade to SL it seem that Time Machine has problems to completely remove old backups completely. The "removed" backups do not show up in Time Machine anymore, but the backup folders and part of their contents can still be seen in Finder.
The number of expired backups not removed is growing. I know one should not fiddle around with backups in Finder or Terminal - but the system does not allow me to remove any of the files/folders anyway.
Here is part of the log:
Found partially deleted backup - trying again to delete: 2009-08-06-211832
Error -47 deleting backup: /Volumes/Drobo/Backups.backupdb/MacBook Pro HGA/2009-08-06-211832
Deleted backup /Volumes/Drobo/Backups.backupdb/MacBook Pro HGA/2009-08-06-211832: 1.75 TB now available
Post-back up thinning complete: 5 expired backups removed
Backup completed successfully.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for helping
Heinz

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That happens occasionally, in both Leopard and Snow Leopard, sometimes after something was deleted from the Finder, but also after an abnormal shutdown or improper disconnection of the TM disk.
Run a +*Repair Disk+* on it via Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder. If it finds errors, but can't fix them all, run it again (and again) until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

Program not completely removed

I have removed ArcanaStartUpSound from Settings, because the version I could find is not supported by OS 10.9.5. However, whenever I start up the Mac, after some time, I'm told the program couldn't be started properly, so I'm suspecting it hasn't been removed completely. How can I make sure it is, as it is slowing down the boot time of the Mac. Also, how do I disable iCloud, so it doesn't start up automatically each time I start the Mac?
I'm a PC user myself, so I'm just trying to help out my girlfriend with her Mac, so any detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated, bearing in mind that how to get to various areas is not completely obvious to me :-)

Follow the developer's instructions for uninstallings. For some you can just drag the app form the Applications folder to the Trash. For other yo have t use the uninstaller provided by the developer.
Yu may have to reinstall the apps and then use the uninstaller.
Go to Settings>iCloud and sing out.

Deleting mail account does not completely remove all of its data from iPhone

Hi
I'm using iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.3. I used a number of email accounts on the built-in Mail app and recently deleted one Gmail account. I thought that all its data will be removed from the iPhone, however, when I used the Spotlight Search, I found that the iPhone still retains some of the account's draft email. So I tried to add back the account to the Mail then delete it once again, but the draft email is still there, although these draft emails no longer exist in the actual Gmail account. I tried resending them but only ended up with sent mail that also refuses to get deleted (still found them on Spotlight) after deleting the Gmail account. Is there any way to remove these useless mail to free up space?

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Email to deleted users not bouncing back

When users are deleted from workgroup manager, emails to their email account still go through instead of bouncing back.
The same occurs when simply setting the mail setting to "None" instead of "Enabled".
I have also deleted the same accounts from Server Admin -> Mail -> Accounts, but problem persists.
I have restarted the server - issue persists.
Where else could their user record still be stored?
I think it's postfix's job to reject these emails..?
When I send an email to a jibberish account that has never existed in the past, it is successfully rejected with /var/log/mail.log showing:
<[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;
When I email an ex-employee whose account was deleted, email goes through with /var/log/mail.log showing:
Jun 24 08:26:42 ods1 postfix/smtp[28886]: B37F5658CDD: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=0.19, delays=0/0/0/0.18, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=29894-02, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as DE236658CE4)
Jun 24 08:26:42 ods1 postfix/qmgr[167]: B37F5658CDD: removed
Jun 24 08:26:42 ods1 postfix/pipe[29592]: DE236658CE4: to=<[email protected]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.05, delays=0/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service)
Jun 24 08:26:42 ods1 postfix/qmgr[167]: DE236658CE4: removed
Any advice greatly appreciated!

For all those that face a similar issue: it was resolved after demoting Open Directory server to standalone, promoting it back to master, reimporting all users and reentering all passwords - a major pain in the butt, but nothing else would fix it.
About a month later, I thought I had the same issue, but luckily this time it came good after a few hours. I think a postfix reload may have contributed towards getting it successfully rejecting this time:
sudo postfix reload
I'm trying to understand how the Apple Open Directory <> Postfix setup works so that I have a thorough understanding when next faced with this issue.
I believe the relevant line in /etc/postfix/main.cf / postconf -n is:
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
(http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html)
I'm not sure what the proxy:unix:password.byname part means, but $alias_maps is defined below:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases
/etc/aliases has all the postmaster, abuse, etc. entries - none of the actual users' accounts.
/var/mailman/data/aliases has all the entries for the mailing lists - none of the actual users' accounts.
This leaves me with either:
local_recipient_maps not being the correct setting
or
The part I don't understand: proxy:unix:passwd.byname being the list of actual mail users
Does anyone know the answer?

Output Type for Deleting Delivery Notes completely

Hello,
I've a problem that in case of complete deletion of a delivery note I want to get message of deletion via IDOC DELVRY05. Normally the complete document will be deleted without any outbut determination.
Where do I have to implement this? Is it in normal output determination for outbound deliveries?
Thank you for your effort.

Uninstalled Facebook App not completely removed

I was recently having issues with the Facebook application so I tried to remove i so that I could just reinstall it. I performed the usual act of removing by tapping the "x" on the Facebook icon and it appeared that the app had been removed. But when I tried to install the app from the App it says its already install. There is also a tab in settings for the Facebook app but it is blank. Has anyone encountered this issue? If so, is there a remedy? Thanks.
Screenshots:
http://s636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/B_Larohn/iPhone%20Issue/?albumview=grid

I'm having the same issue. Last night I accidentally removed my Facebook app, and when I go into iTunes to reinstall it says Installed. The problem that I have is that when I can't get into iTuens after upgrading to 9, it crashes, so I can't even get to it in iTunes to try/ Is there any other workaround for this issue so that I can re-add the app?

Deleted message not removed from iPhone Inbox

Since updating my iPhone 3G to 4.01 I have found that when I delete messages from the inbox the messages are not completely removed from the inbox. I am left with a blank unread message. The only way I can completely delete is to turn the phone off and restart. Is anybody else having this problem? I have also found that I lose service in places I have been able to use the phone.

Modifying delete user adapter for OIM

hi,
I need to modify the delete user adapter for iPlanet and not deprovision a resource based on the value of a UDF field ( if the value is true, then the account is revoked; and if the value is false, the account is not revoked).
I have been able to add an if condition to the iPlanet Delete User adapter using the adapter factory. And have mapped the value of UDF to a adapter variable.Now, the user is not deleted when the value of UDF is true.
But the "System Validation" and "Create" user show task status as "Cancelled" when i view the users resource profile. I want to know, where and how these two are cancelled when we revoke a account. As , this is not letting me revoke an account later, even after I set the value of UDF as "false".
Kindly guide me through this.
Thanks,
AJ.

Hi,
Please do the Following things:
1. In your Delete User task remove the existing adapter and put new process adapter which either that UDF has value True or False. If the UDF has True value then it return Yes and if UDF has False then return No.
2. Create new task called Revoke User Access this task will have the adatper which was in Delete User task which you have removed.
3. Delete User task will be triggered as you press Revoke button or at Deprovisioning Date.
4. Revoke User Access task will be tirggered on Yes response of your Deleter User task and Revoke the user account form the Resource.
5. Go the Undo/Recovery tab of your Delete User task and remove all the task which are under Undo Task Name tab.
6. Now, if you want to cancel the user Create User task (Ideally it should be there) when user get deleted form resource add these task to Undo/Recovery tab of your Revoke User Access task.
Let me know if you have any query for the same....
Regards

How do i completely remove uninstalled apps because they are still taking up my data?

I have uninstalled lots of apps but they are not completely removed from my phone's database and they are still taking up my memory, i was just wondering how do you completley uninstall and remove them?

Did you already try to sync again with your PC? If your data is part of the "Other" section on your phone, you'll have to restore your device to get that space back.

After deleting users they are not removed from portal30.wwsec_person

I am building a customized script to carry on users self registration.
the script is going great and user is created and i can log into portal
successfully with this new created user.
I relogin as portal administrator and delete this new user and now if i tried
to list portal users I cant see the user.
But when I try to rerun my script to recreate this user again it fails when I
investigated I found that it fails because the entry of this user is removed
from portal30_sso.wwsec_person while it still exists in portal30.wwsec_person
so the script fails as there is duplicate in primary key.
Is this a bug in portal 309 that when the user is deleted it is not removed
from portal30.wwsec_person

This is actually a combination of intended behavior/design and a bug.
Let me first explain why there is a user in both the PORTAL30_SSO schema as well as the PORTAL30 schema.
The definition of the user, that can log in, and defines the single sign-on account, is the user's entry in the
WWSEC_PERSON$ table in the PORTAL30_SSO schema. The SSO server actually just uses a subset of the
columns in this table -- those defined in the WWSSO_SSO_USER view.
The same table exists in the PORTAL30 schema, because there is a lot of common infrastructure code
shared by both applications (Login Server, and Portal). The Security and Session Management code
is common, and this code includes the dependency on the WWSEC_PERSON$ table.
Now, assuming that the code was independent (for the sake of argument), why do we still have an entry
for the user in both schemas? As I mentioned earlier, the user entry in the SSO schema is the "master".
The SSO server can have multiple partner applications connected to it. Indeed, on my.oracle.com, the
login server there has at least 4 portals hooked up to it, and a few other non-Portal partner applications,
such as Oracle Mobile.
Each partner application may have a local user profile that it uses to store application specific attributes
of the user. This is stuff that the Login Server is not interested in, and could in no way predetermine for
all conceivable partner applications. So, it is not unreasonable for each partner application to also have
a user record which stores additional attributes of the user (not related to user authentication), and which
can be used to reference other user-related data. For example in the Portal, all the user's privileges
and group memberships are tied to the Portal's user record (foreign key constraints). So, the Portal
being just one partner application of the Login Server, it adhere's to this model and has a user entry
in it's schema corresponding to the user entry in the Login Server.
When a user logs on and accesses a partner application for the first time, the partner application (read Portal)
is expected to automatically create a local profile entry for the user on demand. The Portal does this.
In 3.0.9 and previous versions, to delete a user, you need to delete the user in the Login Server AND the Portal.
The only way to do this is to first delete the user in the Login Server, using the User Portlet.
Then type the user's name into the Portal User Profile portlet (they won't be in the LOV anymore since
you just deleted them from the login server), and click Edit, then Reset To Defaults (this means delete).
You will then get a User Not Found error, since the page is trying to go back to show the details about this user.
(All this has been fixed in 9.0.2 v2, by the way).

TS1702 how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space

how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space. How?

You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away. I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma. Thank you kindly.

What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).
