How to remove old admin users?

[whosaidthat]

What is the exact query you ran to change the id_member from smf_members?

With your data filled in...
Labradoodle-360

phpMyAdmin > {db_prefix}members > Click the pencil next to the member with "id_member 1".
Change the id_member from 1, to the next number not used on your forum. (If you have 50 users, put it as 51).

Then, edit your user in phpMyAdmin and change your id_member, to 1.
Here is a screenshot of the first 3 steps.

I did'nt run a query for this, I just changed the ID numbers around within the members details in PHPMYADMIN as shown above. should I have actually run a query to swap them over?
