(Optional) Deleting the Local User

Scenario

A local user is created during the VM creation. If you do not need it any longer, delete it.

Procedure

Run the userdel -rf xxx command.

xxx indicates the name of the local user. If no folder of this user exists in the /home directory, the user is deleted successfully.

If the local user fails to be deleted, restart the VM, log in to the VM as user root, and run the userdel -rf xxx command again.
