I want to hide users from login screen. I have tried to modify a file in /etc/gdm, but that folder doesn't exist in my file system. Any idea?

Ubuntu uses lightdm instead of gdm by default now, so you need to edit lightdm's configuration. Here's the default /etc/lightdm/users.conf:

#
# User accounts configuration
#
# NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will
# use this instead and these settings will be ignored
#
# minimum-uid = Minimum UID required to be shown in greeter
# hidden-users = Users that are not shown to the user
# hidden-shells = Shells that indicate a user cannot login
#
[UserAccounts]
minimum-uid=500
hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess
hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin

Append the users you want hidden to the hidden-users=-line there.
