Hi all,

I need some help I need to remove users form my system? How would I go about doing this?

You can use the userdel command in order to delete a user.
The -r option deletes the user’s home directory and mail spool. Files and directories in other locations will have to be deleted manually.

Code:

userdel -r username

'userdel name' or 'userdel -r name' if you're real sure about it. *g* Or you could just disable the login by editing /etc/passwd.
