Remove a user account
¬
You can remove a user account when it's no longer needed. 

¬
1	Log in as root on any network computer.
	If you don't log in as root, you can type the root password when 
	you start UserManager. 
¬
2	Double-click UserManager in /NextAdmin. 
¬
3	Choose User ¬ Open from the UserManager menu.
¬
4	Select the domain where the user account is stored, select the user you want to remove, and click OK.
¬
5	Choose User ¬ Delete from the UserManager menu.
	You may need to type the password for the domain and click Login in the UserAuthentication panel before UserManager can delete the group.
¬
6	Click Delete in the attention panel to confirm that you want to delete 
	the user.
¬
7	Check the boxes to delete the account and/or home directory and then click OK.
¬

UserManager removes information about the user from the NetInfo domain. It also deletes the home directory and all the files it contains, if you choose. But it doesn't remove other files that the user owns. You have to use FileManager or the Terminal application to do that.  

Avoid reusing the same user ID for another group in the future to reduce problems with e-mail.
