How to remove a user from the server?

Question

I use an Ubuntu server and installed Git to share code remotely.

I created a Git user with the command:

$ sudo adduser git

What command should I use to remove a user?

Answer 1

The userdel this is what it’s for:

$> sudo userdel git

If you want to remove the folder home user, use the option -r

$> sudo userdel -r git
