As a workaround, follow these steps:

- Navigate to SAS Folders ►System ► Applications ► SAS Visual Analytics ► ScheduledDistribution.
- Locate the folder that belongs to the user who has been removed from metadata.
- Delete the metadata objects that are in the user's folder.
After the objects are removed, SAS Visual Analytics Designer should no longer display an error when you attempt to distribute reports.
