So, you have installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu and you need to start setting things up. What is the first priority? You need to create new user accounts. To add a new account, you can use useradd.
sudo useradd -d [user’s home folder] -m [username]
The above command creates the user’s account and their home folder but you still need to create their password. For that, you want to use passwd.
sudo passwd [username]
So, now that we have created the account, how do you delete it? For removal of user accounts, there is deluser.
deluser [username]
Now, let us check out a real-world example.
It’s as easy as that. Just remember that deluser won’t remove the user’s home folder. You will need to do that yourself.
