When you say the user is not there, I presume you are looking in /User Home to see if such a space exists. Users are a distinct type of node, and may be bound to a home space, often with the same name. You can use the node browser to locate the Person node named 'mktuser'. You may be able to delete it from there.

hi,

i'm searching user from the admin console. when i search for 'mktuser" there are no users listed, but when i create a user with same username "mktuser", it was giving the error posted earlier.

Thanks
