When I log into with the admin account my profile is not visible. When I try to add my auditor's account as a new user it errors because the profile already exists. How can I remove the corrupted profile from the DB? Can you provide an SQL command? Thanks. </P> Mon, 23 Sep 2019 13:21:32 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/My-profile-is-corrupted/m-p/485016#M11145 cyberspecialist 2019-09-23T13:21:32Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/My-profile-is-corrupted/m-p/485017#M11146 <P>Hi @cyberspecialist,</P> <P>You can use the <CODE>./splunk remove user username</CODE> command from the cli to delete a user. </P> <P>This is will not delete the users artifacts.
