Chown? / User deletion

In tru64 unix when you retire an account in the dxaccounts utility it
doesn't really remove the account. In the past we have edited /etc/passwd
file and removed the username from there. Is this the correct manner to
complete this task? If not what is a better way?

Could this cause a duplicate userid problem? And mess up a chown command?
