Remove a domain user account from local workstation, not from AD Domain

I have an AD Domain run by Samba4 and have successfully joined Ubuntu workstations to that domain and able to add users and log into the workstation with domain accounts. Now, I am needing to remove a domain account from that workstation so that only the end user who will be using that workstation has an account on that system--so that the temporary domain account used to configuration does not show up in the GDM login screen.. I know how to remove local users but I cannot find how to remove a domain account from said workstation. Looking online and google only tells me how to remove a domain account completely from the domain. I think it may be in my terminology when I run my search but I am not sure.

Thank you in advance.

Just remove the domain useres home directory under /home. Ubuntu doesn't store any domain user files outside /home
