As a system administrator, you need to remove a user's account from a Linux system. The user's account, 'johndoe', must be deleted along with the user's home directory and mail spool. Which command should you use to accomplish this task?
userdel johndoe
userdel -r johndoe
deluser johndoe
removeuser --files johndoe
The command userdel -r johndoe will remove the user 'johndoe' and delete the user's home directory as well as the mail spool. The -r option stands for 'remove' and is used specifically for this purpose. Simply using userdel johndoe would not remove the home directory or mail spool. deluser and removeuser are not standard Linux commands. It is essential to use the correct options and command to ensure proper cleanup of user accounts.
