All suggestions and answers are really appreciated.

I have Sharepoint installed on a Test computer and I did something very stupid. I deleted a service account domain\spupsync ( was using it for user profile Sync service ) from AD before deleting it from Managed Accounts in Sharepoint. Now I am unable to remove this account from Managed Accounts I get the following error

" Error The account domain\SPupsync is still being used by these components: User Profile Synchronization Service. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: 1a2bc365-70a8-4edd-9644-e5f468a93bef "

and it made things worse I am unable to access the Configure Service accounts page , I get this error

" Error Some or all identity references could not be translated. Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: 5a818ddd-a8a3-46a5-9a6c-d5f09b30f9b7 "

I have tried removing the account from PS using the remove-spmanagedaccount , no luck Remove-SPManagedAccount : The account domain\SPupsync is still being used by these components:

User Profile Synchronization Service.

Can you try following steps:

  1. Create a new service account.
  2. Set the user profile service to use this newly created service account.
  3. Then try to delete the original account.

Sorry for the very late reply Nadeem, I created a new service account and set it for user profile service but it didnt help , I still get the same errors. Also I used remove-spserviceapplicationpool and removed the User profile app Pool as well but no luck... – Snowflakes Jan 28 at 17:42
