From the Users and Group Preferences. first authenticate as an
administrator and then pick the former owner's account. YOu just select the,
remove, button. TYou will then have a dialog that will ask you whether you
want to completely delete the user's home folder. archive it to a disk image or
keep it in place with, deleted, appended to it. I would assume you'd wnat the
old home folder deleted.
