I would like to add a WARNING: Deleting Users within WordPress can result in pages/posts getting deleted that the user created. Just recovered a client's website from such a data loss.– Manuel Arwed SchmidtDec 16, 2014 at 15:53

Go into the Users section in the WP back end and type in the username that exists. You should find a record if it is still there.
Deleting users completely deletes them - there is no "trash" normally, so the user should no longer exist in the database unless you have a plugin which keeps them.
