Removing directories


While testing Suse 9.3 I created the three users:

lagosto Laura laura

and three subdirectories were created in the / home main directory.

How can I remove all of them using the KDE Menu?

There should be an option in YaST to remove the users; I think that will delete the directories as well.

If not,
Code:
rm -r /home/lagosto
rm -r /home/Laura
rm -r /home/laura
will.
