Hello Chris,

DELETE FROM users WHERE nickname'<nickame>'
  or better:
DELETE FROM users WHERE uid=<uid>

Make sure to flush out the following tables as well:

sessions
whos_online
viewed_stories

There are probably a couple more tables that are filled in as well, but 
I forget which ones; something like a preferences table.
