How to remove deactivated user from Confluence Page

[Mark Frampton]

I have an old account on our Confluence Cloud instance that is the original author of some pages. The account has been deactivated. Can I edit/remove them from the byline at the top of the confluence pages (see attached)?

Hi @Mark Frampton, 

If you have deactivated/disabled the user, then it will show as seen from the attached screenshot. The user can not be deleted because he or she has authored content in one or more spaces.

This page describes the options when you want to remove the access for the user. 

Thanks,
