    Hi Angela,

     

    This has been observed to happen when the people picker DiagnosticProvider is not cleanly removed. There is a work around:

     

    Error: Unable to redeploy PeoplePicker solution because getting the following SharePoint error:  System.Exception: Error installing the Okta Claims Provider feature. Exception: Objects cannot be used once they have been deleted.   

     

    Solution: This is caused by the People Picker Diagnostic service not being properly removed during the uninstall process. This can happen if the Okta claims provider is not disabled during an uninstall of the PeoplePicker solution. Execute the following PowerShell commands to manually remove the Diagnostic service:

     

    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Sharepoint.Administration")

    $farm = [Microsoft.Sharepoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local

    $svc = $farm.Services | Where-Object {$_.TypeName -eq 'OktaClaimsProvider.OktaClaimsDiagnosticService'}

    $svc.Delete()

     

    That should clean everything up, and allow you to re-install the people picker.
