How to delete User, minus sign grayed out? (MacBook pro)

HI there

i was having the same trouble and tried turnIng off the users administrator rights that I wanted to delete. I then was able to delete their account. Hope this helps

Great, is it fixed/solved now? 🙂

I found this thread trying to solve a similar problem. searched on "delete greyed out user mac"

Accounts with Admin rights can't be deleted must convert to standard user to delete

Step one : log on using the Admin account you wish to delete

Step 2: navigate to users & groups under system preferences

Step 3: Click the lock to allow changes

Step 4 Unclick "allow user to administer this computer"

You will get a message that you need to log out to make this change

Step 5: log on using a different Admin account

Step 6: navigate to users & groups under system preferences

Step 7: click lock to allow changes

Step 8: highlight the standard user to delete

Step 9: click "-" to delete

Step 10: Decide on how much to delete of teh user acount, I selected all user files

I am running Yosemite 10.10.5

Thanks, sounds like something new in 10.10

I know this is a whole year later, but thank you for your response to this question, it helped me a lot! I couldn't figure out how to delete my husband's account after he got his own computer and it was driving me nuts! I finally googled and found your response. Just wanted to let you know how helpful it was 🙂

Thanks a lot Niel!
