Thanks for the response. Rather, I'm trying to delete the user from within Alfresco. Even if I delete the user from LDAP, the Alfresco user still exists.

I know that as long as the user's LDAP account is deleted, the user won't be able to login (because LDAP won't authenticate). Deleting the user's Alfresco account is just for good housekeeping.
