Emby username already exists

[ricostuart 4]

Hi all,

 

So had a bit of a networking issue at home, and in the end had to redo alot of stuff. One of the things I had to reinstall was my server. I've had to do it fairly manually, but have come across one problem. 

 

I had to remove Emby and manually delete the 'emby' username as well as the stored folders. I've reinstalled emby, but it will not load up. I've noticed that the user 'emby' has not been recreated, and when I try to do that manually i get an error - 'username already exists'. 

 

Is there a way in SSH to remove usernames?

 

Cheers!

Even though i spent all day on this - as soon as I wrote the post i figured it out! Completly forgot to check /etc/passwd file!!! Removed the line and all good.
