How do you delete an admin user in wordpress that wont delete

[in2townpublicrelations]

I hired an indian company to do some work on three sites that I own. I used a freelancing platform and they have been banned and now when i check in my wordpress sites, the admin user will not delete. Everytime i try and delete them it comes back. I change the password and the email address, but when i check a couple of hours later it comes back again, giving them full control over my sites which they are playing around with. any help would be great.

I have tried going into the cpanel but it still will not delete. my hosting company has tried to delete them but it is not working

If you have a developer inhouse, I am sure they will be able to do that easily.

They don't happen to have multiple logins (different users) do they and keep creating a new user for themselves.

I would recommend changing your password, and then looking at all the other users - do you know them or can they be deleted.

At least you did it the right way and created them a login, the amount of people I know who they just sent across their own login details.

If its not the first option, please let me know I do have another idea - but the above idea is the easiest to explain and fix.

Thanks
