Delete a user space of non existing user

Question

Hi there,

I have a user space in my confluence of a user who left. His account has been removed, but his space still exists. It is confusing and I like to delete it as administrator. However I don't have the access rights to do so. Not via a manual approach, not via a query.

Anybody a suggestion?

Thanks,

Onno

I will try to recreate it, the user has been deleted so I can't reactivate it.

HI @Onno Cleijpool,

You may need to first reactivate the user; find the user in User Management and click the link to Activate. You should be able to access the space once the user is active and delete it. (You probably need to be the site-admin to do this.)

Hmm that doesn't seem to do the trick. It points me at a dead link! Also if I try to enter the space it immediately tells me that I need permission to enter the private space.

Any other tricks :-)
