Deprovision a Departed Linux User

SY0-701 · 4.6 identity & access management › de-provisioning

You administer Linux endpoints for Verdant Grid Energy. The fixed-term contract for field analyst Toby Renner (account trenner) ended Friday, and the rest of the team has already copied the project files they needed out of his home directory. Company offboarding policy requires that a separated worker's local account be removed in full — login entry and home directory — so no orphaned access or data lingers.

Your task: from the verdant-ops shell, delete the trenner account together with its home directory, then inspect /etc/passwd and /home to confirm the account is gone. Type help in the terminal if you need the list of available commands.

root@verdant-ops: ~ — secure shell
