There is nothing called "not_changed_when" so you are making syntax up that
won't work :)
It seems you want to say
changed_when: "result.state == 'absent'"
However this also seems excessive, because the default state of the module
should be to return unchanged if it didn't make any changes.
Ergo, changed_when can be omitted.
If you are having an error when deleting a pre-deleted user, this won't
help anyway, and I'd like more info. Please include the output of running
this step with "-v", unfiltered, rather than just showing the middle of it,
and let me know your OS and ansible version.
Thanks!
