how do delete a user from command line

[admin0]

While deleting an user, ( due to root doing cd in the folder) a user was not deleted properly. He does not have a home directory, but appears as a zombie in the UI not allowing me to click or do anything. Screenshot attached.

How do I delete the user/entry ?

Can you delete it via Show All Users?

You can try adding the user again or if that can't be done remove the the user files from /usr/local/directadmin/data/users and remove the show_all_users_cache from /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin and delete the user from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow, and /etc/group.

Then add the user again and remove to get everything else.

I think this one should be included in directadmin CLI command.

Example, we can trigger this:

da-cli --remove-user <username>
