/usr/sbin/userdel -r USERNAME
This will remove whatever user from the system, and remove their home

installed on your system already if it is a Red Hat 5.0 or 5.1 system...

we will invent new lullabies, new songs, new acts of love,
we will cry over things we used to laugh &
our new wisdom will bring tears to eyes of gentle
creatures from other planets who were afraid of us till then &
in the end a summer with wild winds &
new friends will be.
