I had 8 users displayed in WPforo Members.

I had 8 members in WP Users and deleted 3 test users.

When wanting to sign in again with an earlier used Username/mail address I was advised in the front end that this user already exists.

I noticed in "WPforo members" those users deleted before in "WPadmin - Users" were still there and when trying to deleted the users got this message:"User deletion is not allowed from this screen".

What can I do to fix this? (I run a WP multi site installation)

Please note, wpForo uses WordPress functions for deleting users. In other words, user deletion is managed by WordPress.

This should be a permission issue. You should make sure the account has a super admin user role, as only a super admin can delete the user in this case

In case you want to say thank you 😊

As I've already mentioned, user deletion is managed by WordPress, so you should find the issue outside of the wpForo plugin.

Where in the db can I manually remove them please?

To manually remove users from the database, you can follow the instructions in this article: https://www.stevesims.com/how-to-delete-a-wordpress-user-in-phpmyadmin/
