You should also be able to do:

userdel -r username

, which will delete the user from the system, as well as deleting the
user's home directory, all in one go, no need to run rm after running
userdel that way.

Thanks a lot folks for your great help.  I wish someone would make a list of
all of these line commands.  Or may be such a list exists, but I have not
seen it.  That would make the life of beginners like me so much easier.
Cheers to all,
Cris

I agree, I usually don't need a long narrative explaining how to use
something like software, usually the commands themselves are self
explanatory.

Another thing to add to that wish list, a program where you could type in a task
you wanted to do, and it would tell you which program did that.  Something more
specific then google.

There are several such resources and you should become acquainted with them. The truth of the matter is simply this: Your learning process will never end.

Please note that the installation HOWTO for the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution explicitly and directly points to several references. Consult it at:

In particular note the pointers to Red Hat's installation manual. There are other good guides such as "Getting Started" and a "Customization Guide" at the same general web page.

Also, notice the resources mentioned in the "Now What" section of our installation HOWTO.

http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

Also, National Braille Press has a "cheat sheet" of common Unix commands which can be useful. There's also an old book, "Understanding Unix," which is relevant and works well as a beginner's reference. I believe it, along with other texts, is available at BookShare and on audio media from RFB&D.

So, you really do have resources.

To delete the user, you should just be able to do:

userdel -R <username>

If the user also has files in other places than home, then you'll
have to go through and remove them manually. The find command can
make quick work of this, though I doubt you'll even need to worry
about it.
