I need to delete an external user but the system doesn't give me the option to delete this person.  Deleting managed users is easy but external users not so much.

Hi Greg, 

Welcome to Box Community! 

Let me help get rid of your external users, here's the steps: 

  1. Log in to your account and navigate to the Admin Console.
  2. Click Users & Groups.
  3. Under the External Users tab, locate the user to edit and click More Options.
  4. From the drop-down menu choose Remove User from All Items

Note: This is how you can remove the user as a collaborator from any folder owned by you or any managed users in your account.

As your reference, head over to this article, Managing External Users. 

Hope it helps! Let us know in the Community if you have additional question.

Under External Users I have options for External Users and Unmanaged Users. I need to get rid of and delete Unmanaged Users but I see no options to do that. The is no, “More Options”. the only thing I can select is “Make them a Managed User”, which I don’t think I want to do.
