Can't delete Superuser

Hi,I can't delete old Superuser accounts. I'm running the following sequence:1. I click on the trash bin icon, and confirm.2. This account is still visible - with options to restore and to remove (definitely).3. I click on remove icon and confirm.4. Page reloads - and the account is still visible.Am I doing something wrong?DNN version: 05.06.03 (45)Thanks,Mark.

Re: Can't delete Superuser

if a module places a foreign key constraint on the users or portalUsers table, you may not be able to delete (some of) the users.

Cheers from Germany,

Re: Can't delete Superuser

This makes sense, thank you.

Anyway - deleting a superuser account is a work-around for another issue.

Namely, every several weeks, my superuser account gets corrupted partially. For example, on the page Host > Module Definitions, I can't see any of the links: "Install Module," "Create New Module". The problem disappears if I delete and recreate the account :)

What could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
