You can just inactivate them.
You can also snuff them out of the database (via administration/other/database), but if they have any encounters etc… that creates issues. Typically, if this is a “real” install, you should maybe not do that, and if it is an erroneous account, perhaps you should simply edit the database (users table) and turn their username into some sort of testing account, or re-use it for a new account so you don’t lose an index number.
You cannot change the username (you can change the real names) via the user admin in the EMR, just by editing the database. Only do this if you feel it is needed and completely legally appropriate. Don’t delete and account that has ever been used. Check “logs” under admin and search for any activity by that user before determining this.

FFR, this is a OpenEMR users or Help topic, not so much a Development one.

Goto: Administration => Users=> and make the user inactive and untag all other not wanted options. Make the USER inactive.
or
Goto: Administration=> Other=> Database and find the USER - table. Delete the line of your unwanted USER. Be aware this latter option might have some unwanted effects on the stored data in other tables of OEMR and might give rise to ERROR in OpenEMR. (only peopele with the right permission can do this.
