* [[WHM Restore Error: Username Conflicts With Unmanaged MYSQL User|WHM Restore Error: Username Conflicts With Unmanaged MYSQL User]]
2. Access MySQL.
<pre>mysql</pre>
3. Access the "mysql" database.
<pre>use mysql;</pre>
4. Run the following queries to locate the user
<pre>select User, Host from user where User like "username%";</pre>

Once you know what needs to be removed, your systems administrator or database administrator can determine if the databases and users are needed, and how best to safely remove or rename the databases and database users so that no further conflict exists.
