params is an object of default request parameteres in your actions. If you want url parameters you have to specify them in the second parameter like this:

angular.module('UserService',['ngResource']).factory('User', function($resource){
    var User = $resource('/api/users/:id1/:action/:id2', //add param to the url
    {id1:'@id'},
    { 
        delete_user: {
            method: 'DELETE'
        }
    }); 

    return User;
}); 

this works with either:

// user has id
user.$delete_user(function(){
  //success
},function(){
  // error
});

or

var data = {id:'id_from_data'};
User.delete_user({},data);

or

var params = {id1:'id1_from_params'};
User.delete_user(params);

I've made a plnkr-example - you have to open your console to verify that the DELETE requests are correct.

See parameterDefaults in the Angular resource documentation.
