sudo adduser --home /srv/airtime/uploads --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server uploads
because of this, I was told to delete the user with the following command:
deluser uploads --remove-home --remove-all-files
and that's where I'm at right now. after running the command i had a series of this:

people in ubuntu support ignored me in the channel after this so i have no idea what to do next or even if that was a monumental mistake.
airtime still seems to be working.
i found this guide searching online for solutions:
http://blog.swiftbyte.com/linux/allowing-sftp-access-while-chrooting-the-user-and-denying-shell-access/
but i don't know what to do with it. I could follow the instructions but i have no idea if it would mess with the rest of the system. I'm running airtime on an
Ubuntu 12.04.3 VPS.
