PFUser Current User check not working in Parse

Question

I have an if ([PFUser currentUser]) check in my AppDelegate. I created a user then deleted them, but if ([PFUser currentUser]) returns true and has the user's former objectId even though they have been deleted from the Data Browser.

Here is my code:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary     *)launchOptions
{

[Parse setApplicationId:PARSE_APPLICATION_ID clientKey:PARSE_CLIENT_KEY];

UIViewController *startingVC;

[[PFUser currentUser] refresh];

if ([PFUser currentUser]) 
    NSLog(@"current user: %@", [[PFUser currentUser] objectId]);

And current user returns the objectId of a deleted user

Try calling [[PFUser currentUser] refresh] before your if statements.

Didn't work. I still get the objectId of a deleted user. Feel like that should work though... – cph2117 Aug 26 '14 at 15:42
@user1840001 Does this only happen in the AppDelegate? – Jacob Aug 26 '14 at 17:47
Perhaps use `refresh:` that lets you get error output so you can see if you got a "not found" error when trying the refresh? – Timothy Walters Aug 26 '14 at 18:41
No, the objectId of the deleted user shows up in other classes as well. – cph2117 Aug 26 '14 at 18:56
Deleting the user won't remove the pointer from other classes, but trying to resolve that pointer will return a null object – Timothy Walters Aug 26 '14 at 22:35
