Hi.
Please see our FAQs section "How do I remove a user?" - method 2

If you've set them using the standard Garry users file method, you'll need to remove them from gmod\settings\users.txt too.

Keep in mind Method 1 of the link JamminR posted requires the admin to be on the server at the time.
There is no Console way to remove a user from the ULX generated users file while they are not in the game.

On a further note... you can remove them from teh file manually (method 2 from the link) however since the file loads only once per map change, if the admin should happen to join after you remove them, but before the map changes/server restarts they will still have their accesses as an admin.
