I used the Users and Groups GUI to delete the user account.  I did check that the home directory for that account was gone.  Then I re-created the account with Users and Groups.  When the user first tried to log in, everything was in simplified Chinese!  I re-tried all this with an added reboot between deleting and re-creating the account.  It was still simplified Chinese.  All other user accounts are English.  Where is the language preference for that one user account "remembered" even after the account is deleted, and how do I clear it?  No one here knows enough simplified Chinese to read/understand the simplified Chinese menu entries, buttons, prompts, messages, application icon labels, etc.  Or how can I as root reset that account's preferences back to default without becoming that user?

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ userdel --help
Usage: userdel [options] LOGIN
Options:
  -f, --force                   force removal of files,
                                even if not owned by user
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit
  -r, --remove                  remove home directory and mail spool
  -R, --root CHROOT_DIR         directory to chroot into
  -Z, --selinux-user            remove any SELinux user mapping for the user

and no, there is for sure NOTHING outside the userhome
type "ls -lha -R /etc/skel/" and look what is there
this folder contains anything which a new user get's as environment
