Screaming weasels.

I wanted to delete an old user account, no longer needed, and
create a new one.
I can delete the files, but not the account. (The name is still
under users).
I can create the new account, but there is no directory for user
"Nik".
And when I log into Nik, nada. I mean, I can log into Nik, but it
is using the "default profile". Which apparently can't be changed.

This was a "simple procedure" that I started 3 hours ago.

Anyone know where I can download "Default" or the like?

Don't you do this from the account level ?

There should be an option, when deleting an account,
to remove the home directory of the account. And that
would be preferably to trying to hammer it manually
using your own skills.

My recommendation for a home user is to back up the C:
drive first, before your first adventure into account
management. Because (like me), you could be very sorry
about the outcome of your experiment later.

Our friends at sevenforum.com keep tutorials, and they
come in handy when you need to do a task like this.

And here is the handy button to remove the directory with
the account contents.
