How do I delete a User that does not appear in Users & Groups?
A leftover user (former employee account) that won't go away. Phantom User account becomes the default login account regardless of the new employee's login attempts. The phantom account Home folder appears in the Users folder at the root level, but not in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. I have logged in as tech admin and deleted the phantom User folder (while it is not the Home folder), but it comes right back again as soon as the new employee logs in as himself. ***???
I'd just updated this iMac to Yosemite, but this issue predates any specific OS update. Has persisted from 10.5 - 10.10. but is becoming an issue with permissions.
Any thoughts other than having to reinstall the OS from scratch? I was about to, but thought I'd see if anyone else has ever heard of this.....
