Mistakenly deleted User Account

I decided to edit the User Accounts in the Control Panel to just change the
original owners name Edwin to my name and though that the System would
transfer those settings to my account so I deleted the original owners
account; what a big mistake!

I tried to solve this by creating the same user account under that same name
but the System creates a folder in the Documents and Setting named Edwin.000
with it's fresh setting of desktop wallpaper image, my documents folder
contents and Start menu items that are the default settings.

One thing that I saw that makes me feel lucky though is that in the System
Properties where User Profiles is, the system considers it as "account
unknown" with information of the user account's size on the disk.

so my question is how do I revert the settings to make the system know that
user profile still exists so it will allow me to re-create an account under
that same name to again and utilize the settings that were applied to it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has any help.
