The issue you are facing:
I am trying to use nexcloud from a vagrant box (ale_polidori/Nextcloud)
trying to delete ldap users that were there already.
I get this error on web interface:
An error occured during the request. Unable to proceed.
Tried the same from command line (OCC) and get this error
$ sudo -u apache /opt/rh/rh-php71/root/usr/bin/php /usr/share/nextcloud/occ user:delete 2cbff922-30c6-1038-9883-997c80ea56be

The specified user could not be deleted. Please check the logs.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. install vagrant, virtualbox, install nextcloud vagrant box
  2. login with admin account
  3. remove ldap user
