Same problem on 22.2.5 docker image using occ user:delete

docker exec -ti --user www-data cleantest01-nc php /var/www/html/occ user:delete luke.skywalker

In Util.php line 233:

path needs to be relative to the system wide data folder and point to a user specific file

user:delete

However this seems to be only a wrong error since user is deleted.
Is there any fix/workaround for this?

[Niveshkrishna]

Same error to me as well when using drop_account app. User is deleted but this exception is thrown
