Deleting a user account is neat and clean with Mac OS X. This recipe describes the procedure and consequences of deleting a user.

To delete a user, click System Preferences, then Accounts and select the user to delete. Click on the minus sign under the Login Options button, authenticating as the administrator if needed.
