[Bug 1259562] Re: Old guest users pollute accountsservice

 

Well, accountsservice provides a DeleteUser method, so from an
accountsservice POV you can argue that the correct solution is to call
that method (as is done when you delete a regular user via User Accounts
in gnome-control-center). I don't know how that would be done from a
dash script, though.
