userdel command without -r option


Hello everyone, I am a newbie with the linux OS and have been playing around with adding and removing users, after adding a new user, I tried deleting the user using the userdel command without the -r option, using the ls command still shows the user on my PC and if i try to delete the user again, it says such user does not exist even when i use the -r option. What should I do to get rid of the user ? Iam using the Centos Distro. any help will be appreciated
