Remove "Unknown User..." from pages where user has been deleted

[Vincent Kurutza]

We are on the Cloud pay per user version and when we have a leaver we delete them, but we then see the attached on every page.

How can we remove this?

Hello Vincent and welcome to Community!

As far as I know, you can't recover their name once they are deleted.

You actually shouldn't delete users but deactivate them:

When a user is deactivated, it doesn't use any license but you'll keep their name instead of having "Unknown user" everywhere.

Here is the Atlassian documentation explaining why you should deactivate users rather than deleting them: Deactivate or delete users.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick reply and the advice on user management.

But I am actually looking for how to remove Last Modified/Created message from the top of the page.   

I would not want a leaver if deleted or deactivated from appearing there, it's the wrong message.

Oh, ok, then I'm afraid it's not possible in Confluence Cloud: Provide a way to hide author and last modified information. You can vote for this suggestion to show interest and watch it to be updated.
