I'm trying to delete a user but it keeps saying that user is currently used by process ID x
I tried everything here and here, nothing works, how do I kill all the process by a certain user in order to delete the account?
After running su user -c 'kill -s KILL -- -1', I still see some processes:

Process 26903 is supervisord.
Supervisord– Lynob Jan 28 '15 at 00:51supervisordautomatically restarts processes and is probably running as root. You need to kill that first. – jordanm Jan 28 '15 at 03:33
