There were originally two users on my laptop. Now there is one. I went into Computer Management, clicked users and deleted the user account. However, when I open Explore, the user's name is still there plus all the folders which had been under her account. I am reluctant to delete the folder with her name because I am not certain if I will screw something up by doing so! I am trying to delete some unused folders on this laptop. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Carlena,

If you are referring to the one under C:\Documents and Settings, then you
can safely delete it.
