How do I delete a user on my iMac?

Brand new to iMac! My husband migrated files from PC, couldn't find any files so I did it again. Rebooted iMac and now I have 2 additional users on my iMac. Can I delete one of these users? I cannot seem to figure out how to delete a user, only add a new one. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Just go to System Preferences > Users & Groups and choose the account you want to delete. Click the lock to open and then authenticate, then use the minus to delete.


But you can't delete the original user account you set up when you first booted in Setup Assistant. Sometimes it's easier to start over and do everything right in Setup Assistant.
