# this script is used to quickly remove a user account from a Mac OS X
# based computer.  This process will remove the current user's home 
# directory, the user account, and the '.AppleSetupDone' file.

# change directories to the root of the drive to avoid error messages
# this happens after we remove the cwd (/Users/$user).

cd /

# get the current user's shortname

user=`whoami`

# remove the user's home directory

sudo rm -rf /Users/$user

# remove the setup done file

sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

# remove the user entry from the netinfo directory after other removals

sudo nicl / -delete /users/$user

# restart computer

sudo reboot
