How to remove user on Linux system - LinuxConfig.org

User management is an important part of Linux administration. Sometimes you need to list the users on a system or disable a user account. Other times, you may need to delete a user account entirely, which is what we'll be covering in this guide.

There are a couple of methods for deleting user accounts on a Linux system. One way to do it is via the command line, and the other method is via GUI, which varies depending on the desktop environment you're running. We'll be covering the command line method as well as removing a user in GNOME and KDE.

I use gnome-system-tools which includes users and groups “users-admin” do add, deleted and change permissions on users. A very easy GUI to use.
