Can not add the user because a user with that name already exists : SharePoint

Issue:   

When trying to add user to SharePoint site, getting error

"Can not add the user because a user with that name already exists "

Solution: 

User needs to be deleted from Site collection users, for that go to Top level site. Now  Go to - Site Settings - Site Administration Under Site Collection Administrator - View Site Collection user information and delete the user from there. Then add the user back

You can directly open this page by using this URL as well : http://site/_layouts/1033/siteusrs.aspx

Hope this helps!!
