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

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

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