You can delete a user only immediately after creation as long the user didn't create any content.

If the user did create the content, it is not possible anymore to delete the user, even if you delete the content he/she created - that's because the user also created audit trail and this doesn't go away by deleting the content.

Note: in the standard configuration, when you create an user, the associated workflow creates a user folder and the user partition right on. Therefore, you have to delete first the user folder, then the user partition, and finally the user.

To delete the user (if he/she didn't create any content)

1.Run EdAdmin4, and then under Security, click Partitions.

2.Locate the partition with the name such as partusername. Example: if the user name is brunos, look for the partition partbrunos.

3.Select the partition and then on the Action menu, click Spike.

4.Under Security, click Folders and Quotas.

5.Under users root (by default it is system/users, but it can be different on your system), locate the folder with the same name as the user you want to delete.

6.Select the folder and then on the Action menu, click Spike.

7.Under Security, click Users and Groups.

8.Locate the user you want to delete.

9.Select the user and then on the Action menu, click Spike.

To delete the user (if he/she created some content)

This cannot be done. You can disable such user and let it remain in the database forever, or rename it and reuse (if you want) its credentials.
