If the users all came from an LDAP directory, just modify your personQuerys so that they exclude those OUs and then wait for the synchronization CRON job to kick in and delete the users.

Only the scheduled synchronization job performs deletions. You can control the frequency of it using the synchronization.import.cron property.

synchronization.import.cron=0 0 0 * * ?

See this page for the CRON expression syntax http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/docs/tutorial/TutorialLesson06.html

If you are using a subset of users in your directory, it's important that you also set this property to false, so that people excluded by the synchronization query don't get 'default' user objects created for them an can't still authenticate.

synchronization.autoCreatePeopleOnLogin=false

Where did you set it? You need to set it in alfresco-global.properties as it belongs to the synchronization subsystem.
