Hi to All!
I'm trying to realize these three steps:

<strong>1) create a user for example "TOM"</strong> (done succesfully as shown here):

$.ajax({
    type : 'POST',
    async : false,
    url : "/alfresco/service/api/people",
    data : JSON.stringify({
        "userName": "TOM",
        "firstName": "testfirst",
        "lastName": "testlast",
        "email": "m1350@t.it",
        "password": "password",
        "disableAccount": false,
        "quota": -1,
        "groups": ""
    }),
    dataType : 'json',
    contentType : 'application/json',
    success : function(response) {
        alert(response);
    },
    error : function(response) {
        alert(response);
    }
});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

<strong>2) delete a user, like "TOM"</strong> (done succesfully as shown here):

$.ajax({
    type : 'DELETE',
    async : false,
    url : "/alfresco/service/api/people/TOM",
    dataType : 'json',
    contentType : 'application/json',
    success : function(response) {
        alert(response);
    },
    error : function(response) {
        alert(response);
    }
});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

<strong>3) now i would like to delete also the "TOM" directory from repository</strong> (how can I do it??? can someone show it to me???):

you can use api for deleting folder and then have similar call.

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/%7Bstore_type%7D/%7Bstore_id%7D/%7Bid%7D/tree?continueOnFailure={continueOnFailure?}&unfileObjects={unfileObjects}

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/path/%7Bstore_type%7D/%7Bstore_id%7D/%7Bnodepath%7D/tree?continueOnFailure={continueOnFailure?}&unfileObjects={unfileObjects}

Deletes the specified folder and all of its child and descendant objects.
