That should have worked. It sounds like your root access is 
misconfigured or the privileges on your user accounts are messed up.


One work around that has accomplished this task if your can still chown 
(change owner) with admin privileges is to

Go to the home directory. run

sudo chown /-R newuser/ /home/student9

then run

sudo rm -fr /home/student9

Hope this helps
