How to completely delete a user's Share settings?

[jonvargas]

I am having an issue after deleting a user: If I create the user again, the Share's settings are kept. By Share settings I mean dashboard customizations.

The question is: How to completety remove a user's Share condfiguration?

I was recommended by someone else to delete this node by using the API:

workspace://SpacesStore > company_home > sites > surf-config > pages > user > <USERNAME_TO_DELETE>‍

But after a sucessfull deletion of that node, Share continues loading the old settings.

Any idea about what else to do? Are settings saved on database instead?

Hello,

only the page Surf model object is saved / deleted in ../pages/user/. You also have to consider the component binding model objects in ../components/. These are unfortunately not separated by users / page. You need to delete all the files that relate to the users dashboard - you can identify them by a fragment in their name, as this follows a pattern. All files that match

^(.*\.)+user~USERNAME~dashboard.*\.xml$‍

should also be deleted.
