2.0.15 deleted member remains in database

[Dan_]

A member wanted to change his email address, but he had already registered using it under a different user name that he never used. 

I deleted it but smf gave the error similar to "cannot update profile the email address is being used by another member".

I searched the member list and the deleted membership did not show, so I had to manually edit the database to get rid of it and clear the error.

Maybe a misconfigured entry in the database . Can you try and replicate the situation, see if it happens again?

Works fine for me in 2.0.15.  How did you delete the account?

I deleted the account by searching for it from the admin/members menu, then under account settings/delete this account... 

You get a warning and have to verify your intention, and the account could not be found in the member list after that.

I will see if I can duplicate the problem.

P.S.
The notification button is not working on this topic...  I just checked and am sure I hit the notify button because only the un-notify button is offered now.

P.P.S.
Firefox Quantum 58.0.2 is the browser and when I went to check that number it is offering an update hope that fixes the notifications.

Thanks

I could not get it to repeat the error...  Must be operator malfunction...

Thanks for the replies...
