I am not sure what do you mean by "Email Alerts Firing" and how that is preventing you to deactivate the user ?

If you are unable to deactivate the same from UI, I dont think you can do the same from the API/Eclipse

Hi,

 

Thanks for your earliest reply.

 

When we try to inactivate a user from Salesforce UI, it is throwing mesaage - this user is being used in email alerts. We also checked all email alerts but we did not find his email id presented over there.

 

Finally, we want to inactivate that user forcibly through Eclipse IDE.

 

Thanks,

Sagar

There is surely an Email alert to which this user is associated. 

For an easy fix, you can download the metadata of all the workflows in your org through the force.com IDE. Once you have the files you can do a normal search through these files to see the email alert to which the username is associated.

Once you know the email alert, you can simply open that email alert in salesforce and remove the user from the receipients.

Alternatively you can also do the same in the IDE by replacing the username and saving the file.

 

I am sure this would help. We had a lot of such issues and could easily resolve them using the IDE.

 

Hope this helps.
