Cannot delete 1 user account??

[shadow11]

Ok here is a problem I have never come up against, my sister has
2.4ghz P-4 with XP home edition on it. it has been running slow for
while so I cam eto help her out, anyway's I had a major issue with th
lsass.exe using 75% of the CPU for nothing for about 30 minutes afte
login, but I fixed the registry and that went away. Now she had som
other user accounts that were not needed so i deleted them no problem
however her daughter has her own limited user account and it is som
bit messed up and slow just on her account, so I saved her files an
created her a new account. BUT I cannot delete her account, I get t
where it askes "are you sure you want to delete this account"
and I click delete this account, but it freezes up and doe
nothing....

Is there a way I can manually make windows delete this user account??
have tried alot in the past 48 hours and nothing I do makes that accoun
not freeze when I try to delete it.

Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated.
Than

Login as administrator
go to control panel, open admin tools, open computer managment, click on
groups and users, click users, right click username and delete.

Ok that was a no go, Her system is running Home edition so it does not
have the feature in the groups and users under computer managment...
and another thing I now noticed is when I am logedd in as Admin, that
acount is not there, but when I log on normally it is.. any thoughts???
She won't let me do a reformat and system restore was turned off so
that is out to!...

I had the same problem as shadow where i try to delete a user and it gets
hung up and i get the end the mshta.exe. My ? is about your comment. if I
delete the user your way does it delete the files or keeps the files (they
give me that option during the regular process. thanks
