Remove Unwanted Users

Recently I sent out my iBook for repair. Following much confusion and back and forths, my computer finally arrived home with a new memory, a new logic board and a new hard drive. Of course, it wasn't working right, so I restored the OS 10.4.11 and software.
The problem is that when I log in, I see another account (besides mine) for Other (blue with the starry background). I have no idea how to remove this. Also, when I first started the restore process, I need to start-up from the CD and change my password back (it wasn't working either). When I went to do this, there were about 6 other names there. My guess is that this is from all of the technicians who worked on my computer. Can I remove these names? Thanks for any help.

Yes. Other does not exist there. Now, I went to my start-up CD... and found more information that might help you help me though.
Okay. At the login-in, I have 2 choices: my account and other. Other is actually the System Administrator (root) with a password. Again, I think the folks that worked on my computer set it up this way. So, is there someway to remove that user? I can't see it when I log-in to my account; I can only see my account when I log-in as Other. Does that help?

Remove unwanted user, group and ID.

Can this be posted as a user tip in my name? I am unable to post to user tips.
After a recent aborted MacPorts install on OS X 10.5.8 I followed MacPorts uninstall instructions at:
http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html
The uninstall worked well except that I was left with a user called 'macports' with ID 503 which showed up when adding a user in Get Info or using AppleJack. I was not able to remove this user in System Preferences/Accounts nor add another user with the same name.
I eventually discovered that this could be resolved by removing the following as root:
/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/macports.plist
/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/groups/macports.plist
This has removed MacPorts and ID 503 from Get Info and AppleJack and I can now create a new user called MacPorts in System Preferences/Accounts despite the remaining historic entries in /private/var/db/dslocal/indices/Default/index.
I assume this will work in non-MacPorts situations where the user cannot be removed in System Preferences/Accounts.
This will probably work in all versions of Leopard and some later OSs.

Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion
1. enable root user
          click apple(menu)
          ->System Preferences...-> System - Users & Groups
          unlock-> click
                  ->Network Account Server: Join...
          ->Open Directory Utility...
          unlock
          From Directory Utility menu Edit->Enable Root User
2. switch to root
         su root
3. delete files Neville Hillyermentioned
          rm /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/macports.plist
          rm /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/groups/macports.plist
4. "disable root user" and "lock" every unlocked menu for safety reason by following step 1

Removing unwanted user templates

I have an old template that I don't use anymore and I am wondering how to remove it?

I think, conventionally, user templates are stored at:
~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/
(where ~ means your home directory). You should be able to navigate there down through the folders in the Finder, find your template file and drag it to the trash.

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

How do I remove unwanted apps in the general settings of a iphone ?

How do I remove unwanted apps in the general settings of a iphone ?
I am not talking about apps that you touch and hold and can delete, but in the general setting area.
I never will use Nike, Twitter or any of the other apps that apple put in this phone.
I want them out of the general settings, so why cant I get them out. I own the phone not apple.

Many devices have extra information that you cannot remove. On other phones carriers can install a great deal of other information that is called bloatware. At least that cannot be done on the iPhone, but it does have its share of things that people want to remove. Again, the feedback link is where you need to address your thoughts.

Looking for Help with Active Directory Script to Remove a User from msExchDelegateListLink

I'm struggling to put together an Active Directory Powershell script that will remove a specific user from the msExchDelegateListLink.
It looks like Set-AdUser would do the trick. I would want to remove a user in the format of
{CN=Wood\, Sandy,OU=Networking,OU=IT,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com}
Has anyone succeeded in doing this before?
Orange County District Attorney

I use this:
$user = '<user name>'
$userDN = Get-ADUser $user | select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName
$delegates = Get-ADUser $user -Properties msExchDelegateListBL |
select -ExpandProperty msExchDelegateListBL
foreach ($delegate in $delegates)
Set-ADUser $delegate -Remove @{msExchDelegateListLink = "$UserDN"}
Never quite got around to putting it into a function.

Creative Cloud for Teams. I can not remove a user

I am helping a friend who has bought Creative Cloud for Teams. I am myself a team admin for a company and that's why she asked me to help out.
She has only one user on the team right now, her self. She is also the admin.
Different User and Pass for each.
Anniversary date is in July 2015.
Trouble started four weeks ago in the beginning of October.
The iMac was on System 10.7 but I updated to 10.10 when trying to solve the matter.
I cleaned everything Adobe, using Adobe Cleaner and manually inside out, preferences, Libraries, Applications, Utilities…
Installed again the Creative Cloud and started with Photoshop to try out once again.
When she is logged into the Admin Console / Manage Team it shows very clearly that the User is Active.
When she tries to open any CC application there is a message saying that the account has expired.
When trying to remove the User, it is not possible and there is a yellow sticker saying: "We're sorry. Something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later. If this continues to fail, please contact customer support."
The User can not use any of the CC applications and the only option now is to run a 30 days trial on the admins Adobe ID while we try solve this matter.
Is anything of this familiar to anyone? Any suggestions?

Oh, sorry…
The problem was partly that the owner of the license should have assigned the first (and only) seat to the admin, herself, the buyer,
Instead she assigned it to herself under another Adobe ID. She says she was told to do it this way but reading the instructions from Adobe says you should start by assigning the first seat to yourself/the admin.
But that should not have caused such dramatic problems where she was not able to delete the user and correct it. Also the license for the assigned user expired – strangely after 5 months of use. There was something that happened at Adobe that made this stick and the problem had to be solved by them.
In the meantime I made the admin a trial for 30 days and the problem was solved within that time and everything is fine now.
Lesson learned: If one is buying a Team version, one should always assign the first seat to the admin – as the instructions says.
