When I go to "space details"  under "admins" it lists 3 users there. 

Then, when I go to space access -> users, the third user is not there on that table (on the "users" page) 

So, I don't know where to go in order to stop seeing that third user under admins in the "space details" page

@Pablo Vasquez If you go to the Space details > Groups tab, is there a group that has Space Admin permissions? For example, I have a confluence-admins-<instance> group. The user may be a member of this group.

Since Group and User permissions are additive, you would need to remove the user from the Group in order to remove Admin permissions in this space. Of course, that would have impacts for other spaces in your organization.

See https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/ for details on the ins-and-outs of space permissions.

@Pablo Vasquez welcome to the Atlassian community

Can you share a screenshot of the space details page and what you are seeing?
