How do I remove a user account?
Removing an account deletes all the user data for that user, including any grades, resources, and other user-related files or activity. This option should be used with caution, as it will delete all information associated with the account!
Note: You may want to disable the user instead. Disabling a user account blocks that user from being able to access the system. However, the user's data and activity are still retained in the system.
