How to Remove a secondary user of the users group.

Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions,

What distro are you using? That's minimal information that you should post along with the version of the distro.

Try using

Code:

deluser nameofuser

or for more detail on options, check out the man page

Code:

man deluser
man adduser
man useradd
man userdel
man usermod

The two first commands, adduser and deluser do more than the useradd, userdel commands in an automatic way.

Kind regards,

Eric

You can remove them by editing the /etc/group file or by using your user manager. What distro are you using?
