Given I only created the user and did nothing else with it afterwards, I was able to fully delete the user from the MediaWiki system this way:
I deleted the (MySQL) database table-row for that user (TEST_USER), from these tables:
user
recentchanges
logging
Then to ensure no data remains for that user in database, I opened the database itself (without choosing a specific table), and ran a search on:
TEST_USER
Nothing came out in that search.
