Cannot delete a user in XP/SP2

[Lighthouse Group]

I am having an impossible time deleting an user on my XP/SP2 based system.
I have gone into the hard drive and deleted the user, but the account still
show up. When I try to make a new user, each time the user is not allowed
to be a limited one. Is there a work around or a bug fix? I have tried all
I know.


Thanks,

Have you try going to the control panel and doing it under "user account "?
This is where you actually perform this task

There is no bug in WinXP with respect to creating or
deleting users - it's probably your methods. "Gone into
the hard drive and deleted the user" does not mean all
this much - please be specific and explain just what exactly
you did, and where, and someone will show you where you
might have taken a wrong turn.
