Un-Deleatable Folders

[Dave]

Recently when looking in my documents and settings folder
I found a group of account names (ones that are no longer
used) that when trying to deleate wont, does any one know
how I would get rid of them?

You'll have to remove those accounts first.

The accounts dont exist is the problem, its just the old
folders from old accounts.

So the accounts have definitely been removed using the user option in
control panel?
Write down their pathnames, reboot, hit F8 repeatedly _before_ you see
the Windows splash screen, boot to command prompt only, navigate to
the location of the folders and delete them manually.

"dir" lists the contents of a folder/directory
"cd.." goes one directory up
"cd nameofdirectory" gets you into the indicated directory
"del filename.abc" deletes the file filename.abc
"rd nameofdirectory" removes a folder (have to go one up before you
can delete it)
