I'm surprised you could delete a user with existing clients and pending (shelved) changes.
I always have to delete the changes first, then clients, then I can delete the user.
In any case, you can always add the user back and/or the client and then try to delete the change.

I've always just deleted the clients, and that seemed to suffice.
For example, Perforce support yesterday suggested that I get rid of a
stubborn change that won't revert by deleting its client.

It works fine for regular pending changes, but not for shelved.
Extra protection, I guess.

Depending on the p4d release you are running, you may need to remove the -f flag
from the p4 shelve -d process... this is fixed in 2010.2 for sure.
