django modelformset_factory(User) provides two formsets - django

Question

I have tried to use modelformset_factory(User) to create a form to add (and in next step edit) a user.
I'm confused, why it creates a form with my current user and an empty one for a new one?
Any Idea how i could remove the one with the current?
Here is my view.py code:
#login_required
def update_or_edit_user_profile(request, UserID = None, template_name='userprofile_form.html'):
#check when a userid is provided if its the personal or if the user is allowed to edit the profile
if UserID != None:
if (request.user.has_perm('change_user_profile') or request.user.pk == UserID):
pass
else:
raise PermissionDenied
# when user is allowed to continue:
UserFormSet = modelformset_factory(User)
if request.method == 'POST':
userformset = UserFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
if userformset.is_valid():
newUser=userformset.save()
else:
userformset = UserFormSet()
return render_to_response(template_name, {
"userformset": userformset,
})
and my template:
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ userformset.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Send message" />
</form>

You're confusing forms with formsets. A formset is a collection of forms, so Django is giving you exactly what you asked for. If you only want a single form, then that's what you should use:
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
def update_or_edit_user_profile...
user = User.objects.get(pk=UserID)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=user)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form = UserForm(instance=User)
return render(request, template_name, {'form': form})
