I have a site using Windows authentication, a user has been deleted from AD and their profile is not apparently present in the SharePoint 2007 profiles list, yet it is possible to 'find' them when using the PeoplePicker to grant permissions to items in lists. There are some items present in the site which the deleted user owned while they were a valid user on the system. Any suggestions as to how I can remove the orphaned entry from peoplepicker?Murray
