After delete a account(whmapi1 removeacct username=ab123456),I want to recreate the account. I run the same create user script again:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/whmapi1 createacct username=ab123456 ............... .................................uid=123456 gid=123456 ...........................
It will fail on console,I got the error message :
metadata: command: createacct output: raw: ~ reason: The requested uid (123456) is already in use result: 0 version: 1 Cpanel::Exception::UserNotFound/(XID m4gbpc) ??????"ab123456"????? You do not have a user named "ab123456". at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Exception/CORE.pm line 77. Cpanel::Exception::create("UserNotFound", ARRAY(0x1692410)) called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Exception.pm line 30 Cpanel::Exception::__ANON__(__CPANEL_HIDDEN__, ARRAY(0x1692410)) called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/PwUtils.pm line 25 Cpanel::PwUtils::normalize_to_uid("ab123456") called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/AccessIds/Utils.pm line 27 Cpanel::AccessIds::Utils::normalize_user_and_groups("ab123456") called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/AccessIds/SetUids.pm line 19 ........................ ======================================

  Hello, To update, it looks like a support ticket was opened to address this issue. The issue was addressed by removing some existing files with that UID from the /var/lve/snapshots/ directory on the system. Thank you.
