If a user profile is deleted from 'user browser'. Then even if caches are refreshed it does not allow for the creation of a new user with that same exact name.

Reason why this can be an issue is if account is deleted for one reason or another but then artist insists on retaining his original name on new account.

Based on reply I got from @brian ....

Delete both 'User Account' and the initially created 'Profile' with that name and then a new account can be recreated with the original name. As long as the profile has not been deleted as well, it will prevent creation of a new user account with same name to prevent confusion on the site from two people using the same identity.

I believe we covered this in your ticket - this is the intended behavior. You will not be able to create a new user/profile using a name that already exists on a user/profile in your system. This is done to prevent confusion when a user named "brian" wonders why the profile named "brian" is not him.

If you don't want this to happen, do not delete a profile without also deleting the associated user account.
