Solved User accounts deleted still have folders in C drive

I created a couple of new administrator accounts today for purposes of testing out a game installer that wasn't working. When I deleted the accounts, I selected to delete files. The accounts no longer appear in Control Panel/User Accounts. But when I go to my C drive/Users, there are folders in there for these accounts which were supposedly deleted, along with all of their files. Can I just remove these folders from C/Users?

Hello Nikilet,

Yes, it's safe to just manually delete them since the user account was deleted.

Not sure why they never get deleted automatically when they were selected to be deleted in Vista, but good news is that in Windows 7, they do get deleted when selected.

Thanks for answering and for the answer you gave!

It sets my mind at rest as I was worried I'd done something to mess things up.

You're most welcome.
