[p4] Cannot delete user

[Weintraub, David]

The user doesn't have a pending changelist number. Instead, it is his
default changelist that has an opened file, and "p4 changes" won't
report that.

Try "p4 opened -a" and filter for the User ID. It will report
"<user>@<client>", so you know the  name of the client that has the
opened file. You can then delete the clients with the opened files. This
will  close the files, then you'll be able to delete the user.

I have a trigger that forces users to begin all of their clients with
"<userId>-". When a user leaves, I delete all clients that begin with
that user's ID, then I delete the user from all groups, then I delete
the user themselves.

Subject: [p4] Cannot delete user

I want to delete a user from Perforce, but Perforce reports that the
user has opened files. However, it also reports no pending changes for
the user.
 
e.g.
 
> p4 user -d -f <user>
User <user> has file(s) open on 1 client(s) and can't be deleted.
 
> p4 changes -s pending -u pg50976
(no pending changes displayed)
 
So how do I delete the user?
 
Tony
