Dell PowerFlex Appliance with PowerFlex 4.x Administration Guide

Delete users

The command to delete users is userdel and is specified with the -r qualifier which removes the home directory and mail spool.

Steps

SSH to the server and type: server1:~ # userdel -r <newuser>
Once you have issued the userdel command, you will notice that the /home/<newuser> directory is removed. If you only want to delete the user but leave their home directory intact, you can issue the same command but without the -r qualifier.
