Self-Hosted version 1.6.1 clean setup.

I added Google sign, but I realized that when I delete the user in auth, I cannot use that account again to sign in inside app.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Set up a provider, google, github etc.
  • Login to create the user
  • Remove identities first and then user in auth dashboard.
  • Try to sign in again. Appwrite gives 400 error.

Log file is in attachment.

TL;DR
Developers are facing an issue where a user deleted from Appwrite cannot be recreated, leading to a 409 error stating the user already exists. This occurs when using Google sign-in. The problem lies in the deleted user still existing in the database despite not showing up in the user list. The steps to reproduce involve setting up a provider, creating a user, removing identities and the user, then attempting to sign in again. The issue occurs with providers like Google and Github. As a workaround, developers can manually remove the deleted user's data from the database to allow for recreation.

This applies to other providers too.

I made a request to account/sessions/oauth2/google/?project=... and tried to login, it resulted this.

Error 409 A user with the same id, email, or phone already exists in this project.

Type _already_exists

But it does not seem to be in my user list.

I checked the user again using Appwrite CLI in my remote server, Doesn't seem. Must still be inside databases I guess but why? why it was not properly deleted?
