# Deleting Local Users

Active Directory users are removed from the Active Directory domain and when the edge filer syncs to Active Directory, the user list is updated.

          **Note**

          

You cannot delete the main administrator account.

**To delete a user:**

1. In the **Configuration** view, select **Users > Users** in the navigation pane.
2. Select the user row and click **Delete**.
          **Note**

          

The **Delete** option is displayed after selecting the row of the user to delete.
