[root@localhost usr]# adduser carl -u 105 -d /carl -p carl -m -G users -s /bin/bash
adduser: user carl exists
[root@localhost usr]# killuser
bash: killuser: command not found
[root@localhost usr]# rmuser
bash: rmuser: command not found
[root@localhost usr]# deluser
bash: deluser: command not found
[root@localhost usr]#

Why don't you try userdel ?

[Kaligraphic]

or the hard way, delete their home directory and take them out of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow

[serz]

Use userdel -r username if you want to remove username's home directory.

If you don't want to, just use userdel username.
