Deleting Users

I am trying to remove a user from my 10.2.5 system. It is just a normal user account. When I chose the delete user option in the users part of the control panel it does its thing and puts the image in the deleted users folder.

problem is, it doesnt get rid of the user. i can still log in to the account and the home dir is still there. what do i have to do to remove it all? i want to just delete the home dir, and fiddle with the command line to remove the user, but i think this may be a bug. any ideas?
 
that isnt it. i know how it is supposed to work, but it doesnt. the user account is not removed from the system. i can still log in and everything.
 
try sudo rm -R /Users/"name Deleted"

This should remove all the files inside the directory then let you remove the directory
 
but will that remove the user from the system or just bring havoc if that user attempts to log in again? the user is still presented as a user in the system junk. thats the part i'm afraid of. removing files in general isn't so much the issue.
