Sebastien, that is an interesting question! sudo userdel --remove -- newuser - This gives the same problem.
However, the manual for userdel says: "On Debian, administrators should usually use deluser(8) instead." So I tried: sudo deluser --remove-home -- newuser - That command worked correctly. Therefore, the conclusion seems to be that the accountsservice should call "/usr/sbin/deluser --remove-home -- <user>" instead of userdel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009607 Title: User Accounts does not delete all files when deleting a user with an encrypted folder To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1009607/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
