For a while now, I've been wondering how to remove people from the SharePoint 2010 people picker (used when adding permissions). I've had a few occasions where the same person is listed multiple times, due to a bit of a mess-up by my organisation during a few Active Directory migrations. Each user is normally on a different domain.
No matter how many User Profile syncs I've done, or removed user profiles from the User Profile Service Application, these names are still listed in the people picker.
Finally found a way of removing these accounts once and for all. Well, there is another way, involving the UserInfo table in WSS_Content database, but that's not recommended by Microsoft. This is a much safer way.

Simply find the account that needs to be deleted, then click Actions, and then Delete From Site Collection. Instant result. Just make sure you don't delete someone's actual user account...
