Cannot delete user with changed Apple ID

Hay guys,


I have two users on my MacBook. User A and user B. Both are mine and using the same Apple-ID.


At some point I changed my Apple-ID because I started using a new E-Mail address for all my stuff. I changed this Apple-ID also on both users on my MacBook.


Now I am trying to delete user A while being logged in as User B. But the Mac is asking for the password for the old Apple-ID. It says 'type in the password for the Apple-ID xyz' while xyz being the old E-Mail address I changed months ago. The system tells me, the typed in informations are incorrect - of course because I changed the address.


When I try to log in on other Apple services with the old E-Mail address, it also doesn't work.


So how can I get the old user to get deleted?


Seems like a bug, right. That some variable wasn't updated or something. The Mac should take the current Apple-ID for the user not some old version which was changed.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.0

I solved it. The problem 'Find my Mac' App or what's it called in english.


I logged in the user I wanted to delete. Went to system settings -> Apple-ID and disabled the Find my Mac iCloud saving thing whatever. In this menu the system asked for the password for the changed Apple-ID. Cuz that was problem, I was able to delete the user being logged in as the other admin.
