Fixing ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE

USER failed
I got bitten by this several times already, here is what usually works if this error happens for user foo

delete from mysql.user where user=foo;

delete from mysql.db where user=foo

Thank you for posting this.

Elegant in its simplicity (not to mention helpful).

Thanks for posting this. I was stumped trying to recreate a user that Id (incorrectly) deleted and
the 2nd line above did the trick. Thanks.

The reason I had the same error was because I was using:
mysql> drop user foo;
rather than the correct one:
mysql> drop user foo@;
where some_ip could be for instances10.2.34.56
I had previously created my user with:
mysql> create user foo@10.2.34.56 identified by mypassword;

By the way you need to put the user name foo between apex so foo (not foo)

In my case this didnt fix it since I already had done this but still got the error. However I also had
granted some privileges to the user though so maybe that is why. The user still showed up in the
information_schema.USER_PRIVILEGES table. In order to fix it I just had to use the DROP USER
statement.

The same case for me. I used DROP USER as solution.

I ran into this problem too. One thing I did to remedy the problem was enter the flush
privileges command, which seemed to wipe clean the proverbial slate. Then I did my normal
create user command and it worked like a champ.
