I do not quiet understand your problem. I guess you are not a native speaker to English, nor am I.
However I try an answer for you:

Become a user which is not restricted (For example the first user you created when installing ubuntu)

As that user:
start a terminal
Inside the terminal enter:

sudo rm -rf /home/{tHE USERNAME YOU WANT TO REMOVE}

You will be asked for the password of the non restricted user.

Beware: rm -rf Name removes everything down the tree! you may remove evrything with rm -rf /. (If you have aprobriate rights.

Hi Folkhard,

Hope you are doing well. Yes, I am not a native English speaker and my English is very bad. Anyway, I understand what you said.
First of all, I said I am not deleted my built in user my administrator user is cpo-experts. I deleted my second user which creates this code:

$ sudo adduser abc

Delete user: $ sudo userdel abc

I deleted this abc user not cpo-experts. But now I cannot delete this directory which is named newdirectory2 show in the screenshot in Desktop. It was (newdirectory2) on abc user but I already delete abc user and now I'm administration mode.

My question is how I delete this directory(newdirectory2)?

If you have any issue, just feel free and let me know.

Sincerely,
Anup Roy
