@Tbaugus44 you are right, please use an API tool to do this, like cmk.

[Tbaugus44]

could you provide an example of this ?

[DaanHoogland]

sure:

cmk list users username=scadmin filter=id
cmk delete user id=<uuid of the user>

[Tbaugus44]

im getting this error when running the cmk list users username=scadmin filter=id

Two factor authentication 2FA is enabled but not verified, please verify 2FA using validateUserTwoFactorAuthenticationCode API before calling other APIs. Existing session is invalidated.

well, it seems to trivial to be true but the message actually tells you what to do; do a call to validateUserTwoFactorAuthenticationCode before you proceed.
