Home directory for this user already exists error

Hi all an account creation failed as the disk space was not sufficient. Now, when I try and create the same account again, I get the following error. Is there any command I can run to delete the home directory for that user? [QUOTE]Sorry, the home directory for this user ( /home/myuser ) already exists. Please move or delete it and try again or use the force option if available. at /usr/local/cpanel/Whostmgr/Accounts/Create.pm line 686.
Many thanks.

  Hi @BluePlanet If the removeacct script doesn't pick up the home directory you'd need to remove the it manually. You'd just need to log in via SSH and remove/move /home/$user Thanks!
