I am running Joplin Server v2.14.2 and am experiencing exact same issue as others have posted in past, ie https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/joplin-server-user-deletion-task-not-executing/28871 https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/8757#issuecomment-2179968254

The web UI indicates that the user is scheduled to be deleted and I also try to manually start selected task for running '8 Process user deletions '. The columns for Last Run and Last Completion show recent dates and times which make it appear that the process did run.

However I do not believe the process successfully deleted the user because I can continue to login to that user account and that user continues to appear in user list in admin dashboard..

What steps can I take to delete a user?

Thank you
