Hello, @aDriesel

Can you please confirm with me specifically the CLI command that you ran on your terminal and the directory path that you ran the command on?

For example, this is how I run the command on my end:

ahmaddanial@mattermost:/opt/mattermost$ sudo -u mattermost bin/mattermost channel list myteam

udo -u mattermost bin/mattermost user delete useremail@gmail.com --confirm
Error: unknown command “user” for “mattermost”

out put of Run ‘mattermost --help’ for usage.

/opt/mattermost# sudo -u mattermost bin/mattermost --help

Hello guys,
I encounter the same issue, any way to resolve it ?
Version : 6.5.0

That is not how you delete a user according the doc, and if you use the suggestion by the doc, you will encounter the exact error reported by @aDriesel

The doc says:

  1. Move to the root directory of MM (generally cd /opt/mattermost/)
  2. Run mattermost user delete {users} (where {user} is the user email)

And that throws:
Error: unknown command "user" for "mattermost"

And if you call --help you will see there is no such flag or command user

The reason is because of the type of install.
This happens when using the omnibus, and in that install, there is no such command to delete user.

The command to delete user is (and this is nowhere documented as far I saw):
mmctl user delete email@user.com --local
