An owner within Maximzier is the person who created the entry. If you have come across a deleted owner, I'm assuming someone who is no longer with the company, then they have not been removed from the list of users. To do this go file/ preferences and as long as you are logged in as master you can remove them from the list.
I think i may have not explained myself clearly. If you go to the search menu / other / owner you will come across a owner called 'Deleted', Who & What is he/she??? I have noticed that it only seems to appear with databases with Max Exchange being used.
I've seen this too and wondered.... I thought it must be a group that records were transfered into when you deleted the owner (as described above by Polly) but I've tested it its not that simple.
If you decided to delete a user group all the records assigned to this group are moved to this'deleted' owner so they can obviously be located at a later stage.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
