Usually the delete calls for users do a soft delete, i.e. they change the status of the user to be not visible. Try passing forceDelete=true to the URL to achieve hard delete.

thanks @vperiasamy. I used forceDelete=true and its deleted user from ranger.

curl -u admin:admin -v -i -s -X DELETE -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://m1.hdp22:6080/service/xusers/users/416?forceDelete=true
