2). Click the
padlock
on the bottom of the window to make changes. Then, highlight the account you would like to delete on the

3). After the account has been selected, click the

last two options

The first option
will archive all the user’s documents and information so the user can be restored from a disk image later if needed. The disk image is saved in /Users/Deleted Users/.
