Removal of additional users accounts
Recently I upgraded to the new Kubuntu 10.04 version, which I find very nice and functionally stable. My problem is this:
During a disastrous experience with a virus, that severely crippled my email accounts in Linux, that made me having to perform an upgrade to the newer version I have presently installed, I created new user account windows, trying to find a session that was free of this infection, which turn out being no source of a resolution or fix to the system files that were corrupted.
I need to know how now to delete these extra windows. I have Enlightenment D17 which I want to keep. I also have these additions which I need to delete to regain valuable disk space:
Splunck Server
Administrator 822
KDE
There is one more, which has an odd name. Anyway, without going into detail of why I created them, I just need to get rid of them and keep only my Gnome, Ubuntu [ kubuntu and john822 ] set-up, as these are my logical mounted windows.
I have come a long way with Linux in a very short time, as I was a novice at the beginning, but now know what set ups are beneficial for me to have a stable operating system.
As I said, I just need to know how to delete these accounts without being asked why the Hell I made them in the first place. Thank You, John....:ohmy:

You can also use the find command to locate files owned by the targeted users and remove them. an example of the syntax for the find command is "find /home/ -user user1 -t f -exec rmdir" and "find /home/ -user user1 -t d -exec rm, these commands will find all files(example1) and directories(example2) in /home/ that are owned by user1 and removes them.
I am administrator / account holder " john822 " and the user account is " administrator822 "
Or should I use my " Users and Group " program to disable the un needed accounts?
There is one question I need an answer to: I only use Kmail in Linux now, and I noticed that if I need to send mail from an internet site [ example: Craigslist., It will not open Kmail to send out that email address(s), but if I open a web browser in my other OS installed { Windows } I am able to send the mail out from an external internet site. The feature is checked and enabled in KMail settings. Just curious to why this may be?
The way I know how to configure what action is taken in Firefox is to go to "Preferences" then to"Applications" and then scroll down to "mailto".
I attached an image.
I am yet unsure how to edit Chrome. :-(
Please let me know if that helps! ^.^
I am still stuck with this issue using Virtual Box Ose with a mistaken snapshot of an original guess install, that refuses to be deleted. This is hampering me from installing the Sun version 3.1.6, which has the usb feature available, as the OSE version does not. There is basically no response from Virtual.org on any real solution accept some unintelligent replies. If i permanently delete virtual box in my synaptic manger as they say do, I risk the chance of deleting my good running guess set up. And when I did do this on my previous Ubuntu 9.10 install, before I upgraded to the Kubuntu 10.04, it still would not override the previous version of virtual box I had installed, saying it had to abort installation due to instances of the previous version being detected due to the ' snapshot ' and this was after I did a permanent uninstall of the OSE version, So I:laugh: left everything the same and just resolved that I will have to live with the features of the OSE version as it was upgraded to a 3.1.6 type without the usb feature when I upgraded to the 10.04 OS
Can't win them all....................:laugh:
