Error : "Unable to update hosting preferences : user xxx allready exists"

Hello,

I've did a fresh install of Plesk on a server.
I've tested and create a user and a domain. After that, I deleted it all.
When I try to create the hosting again, I receive the above error.

Can anyone help me with this?

Regards,
Tim Van Engeland
 
It seems there is system user remain in some case so you need take a look at exists users if there is such user already exists.
Also you can try to set another username to check if issue caused really in this case.
