IIRC there wasn't such a command in 2.1.0. You have to:
use vipw to remove the user's line from /etc/master.passwd
edit /etc/group and remove his group (if required).
Delete the home directory and mailbox.

The easiest would be vipw. Simply modify the home directory on the line
that starts with the user's name.
