Hi,

In SQL Server you will be having Login and Users.

Login : Login to authenticate inside SQL server when you use SQL server
authnetication

User: Who got previlege to access the databases

So before deleting the Login you have to drop the user

Command to drop user:

sp_dropuser <user_name>

Command to drop Login

sp_droplogin <login_name>

Apart from this refere the below commands in books online:

1. sp_revokelogin <Loginame>
2.sp_revokedbaccess <user_name>

Thanks
Hari
