Can't delete account...

EvilEmpire · Sep 19, 2010

Hi all

I'm having a small problem deleting an account on my Computer. My operating system is Vista Home Premium 36bit.

I have done what microsoft said step by step using the control panel, and the account is now no longer on the start-up menu. However, when i looked on my hard drive, all the files are still there. Even though i selected 'delete all files', they're all there, even though the account itself isn't. I've tried deleting them but i am told the folder is open by another program. Any idea's on how to clear the account as it's taking up a fair bit of space... :confused:

Thanks all.
