<p>To remove a user, you can issue the following, as we are no longer setting up a gopher server on the pi, I will just remove the user.</p>

<pre><code>sudo deluser gopher
</code></pre>

<p>Which will remove the user, but not that users /home directory, which for the most part is fine if you want to keep hold of the user account data.</p>

<p>For more information and options,  consult the man page</p>

<pre><code>man deluser
</code></pre>
