Seems all you really need to do is remove the content from the home directories, e.g. rm -R /Users/<username>/[.Trash,,bash_sessions,.cache,config,.local,Documents,Desktop,Downloads,Movies,Music,Pictures]/* or similar ought to get most of what matters: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/macOS-home2.jpg Whether the new Mac owner could use it if the only configured user's entire home tree were to be removed I have no idea. Better I think to boot the MacOS and goto system preferences > users & groups and add a new account, followed by removing the old account. It's logical that removal would result in a popup asking whether or not to remove (move to trash?) the old user's files. I'm not in the mood to attempt it here. It took too long for me to figure out how to configure things the way I can tolerate the MacOS way of doing things. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
