To remove any user you can do as root:
userdel -r username
The -r option will also remoe any fiels that username owns so careful with
this option.

That would be done with userdel username.
May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.

In Slackware 8.0 the userdel command seems to be the proper choice.
I expect the same command is available in version 8.1.
Have a _great_ day!

Alex,
The command to remove a user in slackware 8.1 is:
userdel <username>
If you want there home directory removed as well, the command is:
userdel -r <username>
Be sure you remove any files or anything belonging to them as well, for
example /var/spool/mail/<username>
