Delete User or Group
This script action deletes a user or group from the Linux computer. We recommend that
you add this action to the Post-Uninstall script so that a user or group is deleted only if
the uninstall is successful. This action is not available for Verification or Preflight scripts.

ElseIf Statement
This action is used inside an If block to check for another condition. It marks the
beginning of a block of code that is executed only if the condition checked by the If
Statement is false, all previous ElseIfs are false, and this ElseIf is true. You can use one
If Statement with multiple ElseIf Statements to check for multiple conditions.
