I have been having trouble deleting some living people from my private space - it says "Delete Person Unavailable". I have removed all relationships with deceased people - no change.
In two cases, I can see entries in the "Research Log" of another person doing a merge on the deceased mother of the living person I am trying to delete. I expect the software considers this a "contributor" so it blocks the delete (as it would for a deceased person). However, it doesn't make sense to block the delete for a living person in my private space since I am the only one that can see the living person (definition of "private space").
In another case, I am the only person listed in the "Research Log" but it says "Delete Person Unavailable" - very mysterious.
There seem to be some software problems in this area. By the definition of "private space", I should always be able to add/delete people - no restrictions.

It has been nearly five years since this question was asked. Is it ever going to receive an answer?

After this long and no answer here, then it is most likely because those types of discussions are best found and made in the FamilySearch Tree Community discussions.bconrad wrote: Sun May 24, 2026 12:03 am It has been nearly five years since this question was asked.
