I'm having an issue. I created a Login ('someuser'), and I deleted this login. Then when I went to recreate the same login 'someuser', I get an error that it already exists.

It is not an orphaned user (I viewed any through sp_change_users_login from the master db).

What could be preventing me from recreating this login??

Did you delete the user - or the login. If you deleted the login only, and not the user that would explain the issue.

I did a DROP USER on it and I'm still getting the problem.

Can you check this login present on server level? and on what access have.
