If you want to delete the user's home directory when the user is deleted, issue the following command:

<code bash>
sudo deluser --remove-home john

**IMPORTANT:**  If you had previously configured sudo privileges for the user you deleted by editing the /etc/sudoers file, you should remove the relevant line in that file too.
