Haven't we had this conversation twice today already?

In one of the WCs:
Move the local .user file somewhere safe (outside the WC).
Commit the WC, including the deletion of the missing file.
Move the file back.
Right click on the file and add to ignore list.

In all other WCs, when it is safe to update:
Copy the local .user file somewhere safe.
Update WC
Move the local .user file back
