How to secure delete on mac high sierra how to#
I don't suppose this gives anyone a hint as to what's going on and how to fix it so I can get rid of the temporary account. I tried this in the migrated user account. This lead me to also try enabling FileVault (I did not have it enabled previously) which fails with the following message:Īuthentication server refused operation because the current credentials are not authorized for the requested operation. G is the name of the temporary admin user in my case. However in the system log the directory utility leaves the following message:Ĭouldn't delete record "g" of type "dsRecTypeStandard:Users": Error Domain= Code=4001 "Attempting to delete the last FileVault capable user" UserInfo= System Preferences won't enable the minus button when the admin user account in question is highlighted, the terminal command that you used gives me the same error you got, and the directory utility fails to delete the user even though it gives no error indication in the GUI. Good luck and hopefully this will do the trick for you and any other people running into this issue. Similarly if it doesn't work for you please also let post and let people know.

Quite what that conflict is I am not sure but I think it relates to the UID/USER ID and password.

If you install the new operating system, create a new user account and login and then migrate there seems to be some sort of conflict. I hope to be able to solve this issue for you and it seems to stem (in my case anyway) from using migration assistant.
