It's often better to *leave* the account intact, but to disable access through it. This provides context for files and other residual data from the user, which otherwise appear as owned by an unknown account (numeric UID only). If you are in the habit of adding and deleting accounts to your system frequently, you may end up giving a new user access to a prior users still-extant files. You might want to look at the "passwd -l" option. -- Karsten M.
