I clearly showed my commands including my login to MySQL as root. I also cleanly noted I can't even login as the user I am trying to delete. I will try Claudio's suggestion and post back my results. I find it odd that the output of users has a carriage return in it which malformed the table output. It's not normally like that so you're possibly right and that could be the issue!

RE: Unable To Remove User
What version of mysql a you using? Drop user works differently for versions before 5.0.2. You could just remove the user from the mysql.user table with a delete statement.

[ snip ] Database changed mysql> select User, Host from user; +++ | User | Host | +++ | carlos | localhost | | root | localhost | +++ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Carlos, is this output exactly as it appeared when you ran the command? Specifically, that extra carriage return after localhost for the user carlos? I wonder if the host value is actually localhost followed by a carriage return, which is why it isn't found when you try to drop the user using the 'carlos'@'localhost' value. Try this select statement to confirm: select user, host from user where host = 'localhost'; If you don't see carlos returned as a user, this is potentially the problem. If that's the case, use Claudio's suggestion to remove the user manually.

Re: Unable To Remove User
Remove manually (delete) the user from all the privilege tables: delete from columns_priv where user='carlos'; delete from db where user='carlos'; delete from procs_priv where user='carlos'; delete from tables_priv where user='carlos'; delete from user where user='carlos'; then a nice FLUSH PRIVILEGES; this should fix, let me know!
