Site Settings, Manage User Profiles, View User Profiles, the drop down
on the profile in question has an entry for Manage User Profile. From
there you can delete the user's MySite.

Gary,
I followed your instructions for deleting a My Site, and it appeared to work just fine until I logged in as the same user again. I clicked My Site, and it looked like SharePoint was generating a new site. The only problem is the new site still had all of the same settings from the deleted site. The Outlook calendar was still in the same place, and all of the private documents were still there.
I figured out how to remove the private documents, but how do you completely remove the My Site?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
to completely remove a Mysite you need to run the following
command:
stsadm -o deletesite -url http://spswebname/personal/username (ie Administrator)
This will completely delete the My Site.
Hope this helps
