Removing rstudio and its user from the system
I installed rstudio on my system, but I don't need it now. It has created its own user. Whenever I turn my system on, two users appear on the screen. This has happened only after installing rstudio. I don't want rstudio and its user as well.
I successfully uninstalled rstudio by sudo apt-get purge rstudio.
Still the login page is showing two users. Then I logged in to the second "rstudio" user and opened its terminal.
When I used deluser command there, I got this error.
rstudio@ubuntu-Vostro-15-3568:~$ sudo deluser
rstudio is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Please help me to delete this user.
sudo rstudio

Thank you so much everyone for your efforts.
I was putting username when I was asked for user. I checked the command that I used to add the user. ie.
sudo adduser rstudio
As I was putting the user"name" in the command, it wasn't working.
I simply used
sudo deluser rstudio
and I got this!
Removing user 'rstudio' ...
Warning: group 'rstudio' has no more members.
Done.
Now everything is fine. :)

Use sudo apt-get purge r-base.
This works like apt remove but also deletes configuration files.
After that, issue the following commands: sudo deluser --remove-all-files rstudio sudo deluser --group --remove-all-files rstudio
This will remove the system user created by the installer, which is not automatically removed by the uninstaller.
