Delete a user - Digerati - 2003-12-15
To delete a user to your system bring up a terminal window and issue these commands:
To delete a user use deluser [username]
All this must be carried out as super user
To become a super user just type su - and enter the root password.
Ex.
[digerati@rh9 /]$su -
password:
[digerati@rh9 root]# userdel scrote
To delete the user and their home and all their stuff do:
[digerati@rh9 root]# userdel -r scrote
All done.
