  • Ubuntu: How to delete a user

     

    In Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, to delete an additional user you have created, use the following:

     

    sudo deluser [username]

     

    By example, if we wanted to delete a user we created called “test”, we would run:

     

    sudo deluser test

     

    Which gives:

     

    Removing user `test’ …

    Warning: group `test’ has no more members.

    Done.

     

    Be careful with this – don’t delete your admin account 🙂
