The process is quite simple and straightforward.

First, from your WordPress admin panel head towards the Users menu, and from there click on All Users:

Add a tick to each user you wish to delete. If you wish to delete them all, simply click on the checkbox at the top of the list with users. This will automatically add ticks to all user accounts:
