Editor to share with you the use of linux userdel command to delete users, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article, let's discuss it together!

The userdel command is used to delete the specified user and the files related to that user. The full name is "user delete" in English. In fact, the userdel command actually modifies the system's user account files / etc/passwd, / etc/shadow, and / etc/group files. This coincides with the idea of "all operations are files" in Linux system.

It is worth noting that, however, if a process related to the user to be deleted is running, the userdel command usually does not delete a user account. If you really have to delete it, you can terminate the user process before executing the userdel command to delete it. But the userdel command also provides an argument for this situation, the "- f" option.

Syntax format: userdel [parameter] [user name]
