Because the account is used to track changes in the history of any article edited by a user, a user can not be deleted. However, a user's rights can be suspended. To suspend rights for a user,

  1. click on Special pages, user rights management (close to the bottom), or click here
  2. enter the user name exactly as it was set up
  3. click edit user groups
  4. select any entries on "left" side under the "Member of" column (click on all items listed by holding the ctrl-button to select each one. )
  5. click "save user groups"

This will have removed the user's rights. If you want to check that the user's rights have been deleted, go through the same steps as above; if there is nothing list under "Member of", which is the "left" side of column, the user has been disabled.
