You can actually make the account act like it has no NNID and remove it directly from the user settings as normal, which should also remove most left overs from the account.
Tried this but it completely f**ked up the user account, so the Wii U could no longer use it and forced to create a new user. This ofc. changed the user ID, so now the old saves don't work anymore...

So to all people reading this: Take it with a grain of salt. It might work in most cases but sometimes there seem to be issues.

That's unfortunate, if I'm not mistaken I did the entire process while logged into a different account, so I had at least two users on my console during the time I did that myself. (in case these details are of some relevance.)

same issue, what's the fix?
Hi, I did it, earlier it was not working.
(I've Tiramisu and Aroma on console, default user without NintendoID)
Boot into tiramisu (on my console I can chose while booting by holding X), run Homebrew Launcher, run FTPiiU Everywhere, find that folder to delete (lets say. 80000005) and delete it.
Edit common.dat file by deleting 80000005 and add 00\ but not in place where was 80000005 but just before 00\, for ex.
before
PersistentIdList=80000005\08000000b\08000000c\08000000f\080000010\080000011\080000012\080000013\00\00\00\00\0
after
PersistentIdList=08000000b\08000000c\08000000f\080000010\080000011\080000012\080000013\00\00\00\00\00\0
and save it to console.
Then exit FTPiiU, Homebrew Laucher and Mii Maker and tap icon of user and Switch User.
Old account still appears but without its icon. Now chose accout to Start as other user (I switched to user with NintendoID connected). When everything is loaded turn console off from gamepad (by power button).
Then turn it on but to Aroma (on my console it is default).
After that i've no old user on my console.
