...will do it on the command line, including removing the home directory, etc., etc.
i don't use webmin (heard tales of insecurity), so i can't help you with that.
if you are administering from a remote host, you should look at enabling SSH, and you can do all your sysadmin stuff that way. i would recommend disabling root login and using "su" once you've logged in as a normal user.
