Delete user ID from "user page list"

TModest

Hi people,

On BC 14 (c/al still on premises) i am trying to delete a user from the list.
It doesn't allow me me to saying the following error:
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

---

The user "XXXXX" cannot be deleted because the user has been logged on to the system. To deactivate a user, set the user's state to Disabled.

---

OK

---

"

We changed the user domain and created a new user ID for him, so the propose here is clean the history of it. Why can't we delete this old and not used user?
Disabling the user is the same as deleting him? Do i have a free slot on the license after that?

Thank you,
Tiago

Hello TModest,
you have to delete the User Personalization.

If you don't read the whole article, that's maybe important for you (it's at the bottom after Update):

After I wrote this post, I got an email from Microsoft with an explanation that this behavior is by design. For audit reasons it should not be possible to delete a user, who has performed a transaction in the database. ...

Yes, after you disable the old user, you can create the new user.
