I looked around Postgres to see if I could manually remove the demo user once I created a new one, but admittedly didn't know what to look for.

Anyway, my instance is working just fine, but I wanted to know how to delete the user. I worry other people may forget about the account and leave it with default credentials.

Let me know if I can help with testing.

Hi! In the latest version we no longer create a demo account by default, but use DEFAULT_ADMIN_* environment variables where you can specify email and password. If this account is specified in the environment variables, it will be locked and can't be modified or deleted through the users panel in Planka. So to be able to delete/modify it, you have to remove DEFAULT_ADMIN_* environment variables and of course the deletion must be done via another admin account.
