NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

Steps to reproduce

Import a space from Confluence where user who originally created the space (and thus is an administrator of it) doesn't exist anymore.
Try to delete the space.

You'll receive the following stack trace and the space is unable to be deleted:

Workaround

Go into Space Permissions for that space and remove any individual users who have administrator permissions that don't exist anymore. The space is then able to be deleted.
