      I have a situation where I have a dummy user in User Manager that I can't delete.

      His icon is grey with no name, disabled or groups info.  How do I get rid of this phantom user?

        You may need to download a configuration backup and remove it manually. I suspect it's a completely empty <user>tag. Once you manually remove it, restore the backup and it will be gone.</user>

          I found the following highlighted in red and it doesn't look right:

          <user><scope>user</scope>
          <password>$1$v2ZcBYto$.tWerteOq/qOdM6JoO.</password>

          <name>MyUsername</name>

            Yep, delete that line in red and restore your config.
            If you know how to make the problem happen, then report it, then the original cause can be fixed.

            As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

              Hmm, I think I did something stupid like deleting the user from User Manager that I was logged in as.  It should never let you do that, but it did.  I'll try to log it once I can reproduce it.
