When deleting the minimserver user, you have also deleteted the users home directory. This directory contains the MinimServer application data, including the settings file. This means that your settings are lost.
The recommendation to not uninstall before updating MinimServer takes not into account that someone manually deletes the daemon user.

Quote:I would really like to have the option to just add the "minimserver" user, but I don't know what privilege and password etc I should set for the user, could any user with synology nas help me check your minimserver user privilege? but regarding password I guess it's hard to know from the nas setting.

For reasons of security, the MinimServer user is assigned to a random password during installation. However, deleting the daemon user has seriously broken your MinimServer installation and just recreating it will not fix it.
Please do the steps I've suggested above to do a clean fresh install.
