ACL DELUSER deletes the named users. Clients that are logged in as a deleted user are disconnected. Names that do not exist are ignored. The default user cannot be deleted; to lock it, turn it off or give it a password with ACL SETUSER.

The change lives in memory. Run ACL SAVE to write it to aclfile.
