@Leon Liju Joseph -- by chance do you mean all accounts "higher than system accounts" (standard users from the system's perspective) or do you mean: "all accounts, they're all users?"

I've found that one learns more from one's mistakes than from one's successes. This is just my opinion though.

Because @Kirk Schafer, the first rule of playing around with commands is to understand them first before using them.

infact removing all users shouldn't be the case you should delete user account , maps, files,etc so please read the link before doing something https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-remove-user-command/
