122. Delete a UserBEFORE YOU BEGIN 117 About Administrative Responsibilities 118 Add a New User Deleting a user is an essential housekeeping duty. You'll have to remove user accounts that are no longer used, delete accounts as a punitive measure against abusive users, or clean out user accounts to return the system to a pristine state if you sell your computer to someone else. Mac OS X lets you delete any user account except for your own. When you delete a user, you can also either delete the user's account immediately (removing the user's Home folder and everything in it permanently) or package the user's Home folder into a disk image you can then browse later. NOTE You must be logged in as an Admin user, or able to authenticate as one using the lock icon in the Accounts Preferences , to delete another user.
