where newuser is the name of the account you want to delete.

I assume ampps and mysql are the result of a software package installation? If you didn't remove the sofware do you want to delete those accounts or just have them not appear at login?
I *think* if you append the account name in the /etc/passwd file with
:/user/sbin/nologin
it will prevent the account from displaying at login.
Here's an example from my /etc/passwd file. See how each of these account names end with :/usr/sbin/nologin
mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/usr/sbin/nologin
news:x:9:9:news:/var/spool/news:/usr/sbin/nologin
games:x:5:60:games:/usr/games:/usr/sbin/nologin
Please be cautious and backup the /etc/passed file first.

All i want to do is just to delete that accounts. Since i already removed the app.
But i think i should note your solution, just in case i install this app again. Too many accounts at login menu annoying.
Thank you Scott. ;D

I want to delete "ampps" and "mysql" account at login menu. I've tried delete it from User Manager but there's only "audi" and "root" account. :'(
