    Hi,

    Please share the error you are getting while trying to delete the user.

    Are you getting error related to schema or something else.

    If that login is the owner of a database, you won't be able to remove it. First change the owner of the database to another login, then try again.

    Replace "<your_db_name>" with the restored db name:

    ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::<your_db_name> TO sa

    USE <your_db_name>

    DROP USER <user_name>
