Seems a bit brutal to me ! Try: deluser --remove-home username Or, if you really want to make sure all traces of the user are gone: deluser --remove-all-files username (I'd strongly suggest using --backup with --remove-all-files) This will get rid of all files on the system owned by username. This can cause problems at times. And it takes quite a while. Check the man page for deluser for more info. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
