RE: Deleting Users

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Many moons ago we discovered, (the hard way), that you want to delete all 
users from OV/400 prior to removing it from your system.  Otherwise it's 
nigh impossible, using the standard commands, to delete someone from the 
system.  Seems the removal leaves certain files on your system that have 
links directly to the user profiles.  And I believe that someone actually 
hacked as to what these files may be.  Just don't confuse these files with 
the files used by the WRKDIRE.  Oh, and by the way, deleting a user 
profile should automatically delete them from the system directory 
(WRKDIRE), at least it does on any version of OS that is currently 
supported.

They are probably still in the directory. Use the WRKDIRE command to 
remove
them.

                 I am unable to delete users off my AS400.

                 I try deleting this users and move the objects owned by 
that user to
another
                 user profile and still didn't delete.

                 The only message I get is that it was unable to delete 
the user.

                 Anyone have any ideas of what I can do?  I have several 
users that I
need to
                 delete out of my system.
