AmazonIdentityManagementServiceClient.DeleteUser Method (DeleteUserRequest)

Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM user. Before attempting to delete a user, remove the following items:

Password (DeleteLoginProfile)
Access keys (DeleteAccessKey)
Signing certificate (DeleteSigningCertificate)
SSH public key (DeleteSSHPublicKey)
Git credentials (DeleteServiceSpecificCredential)
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device (DeactivateMFADevice, DeleteVirtualMFADevice)
Inline policies (DeleteUserPolicy)
Attached managed policies (DetachUserPolicy)
Group memberships (RemoveUserFromGroup)

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DeleteUserAsync.
