<title>Delete a user account</title>
<p>You can add multiple user accounts to your computer. See
<link xref="user-add"/> to learn how. If somebody is no longer using
your computer, you can delete that user's account.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click the icon at the far right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Open <gui>User Accounts</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui>Unlock</gui> in the top right corner and type your
password to make changes. You must be an administrative user to delete user
accounts.</p></item>
<item><p>Select the user you want to delete and click the <gui>-</gui> button.</p></item>
<item><p>Each user has their own home folder for their files and settings.
You can choose to keep or delete the user's home folder. Click <gui>Delete
Files</gui> if you're sure they won't be used anymore and you need to free up
disk space. These files are permanently deleted. They can't be recovered. You
may want to back up the files to an external drive or CD before deleting
them.</p></item>
