Or just use adduser (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/adduser.8.html) and deluser (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/deluser.8.html).
They are friendlier front ends to the userdel and groupdel programs, removing the home directory as option or even all files on the system owned by the user to be removed, running a custom script, and other features.
