Exclamation How to REMOVE USER that display error --> "Name is too long"

I wish to remove a user from the system... but an error occurr...

I try to remove via SMITTY and try to remove via command line with

rmuser -p (name of user)

and does not works.... The system display that the "Name is too long"

There another way to remove a user... or rename the username with new short username.

Thanks anticipated for your responses!

If you want to delete the user anyways:

delete the entry from /etc/passwd

delete the entry from /etc/security/passwd

delete all entries for that user in /etc/group

remove the home

Hope this helps and I haven't overseen anything.
