As you said, you can enter the container with

```shell
./launcher enter app

```

Then, you will need to launch the [rails console](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/command_line.html#rails-console) with

```shell
rails c

```

Once you’re in the rails console, you can delete a user with

```ruby
User.find_by(username: "foobar").destroy

```
