hi! Bob, do you have an Administrator rights, is there any messege that
prompt you why you can't delete the "User" folder. you cannot delete the
folder if you login to that account, or some program are using it try to
disbale your starup application like antivirus or any application that
protect that folder, check your services under Administrative Tools.

I'm new to this so I'm not sure I'm in the right place. I
have a situation where a Documents and settings folder
and it's contents was copied into c:\documents and
settings\"USER". I am unable to delete this folder
because I cannot delete the application Data File.
My wife also remamed an account in Documents and settings
C:\Documents and settings\"user"\"user". I would guess
this is caused by the same thing. How can I get rid of
these folders?

Thank you.

Are you using Service Pack 4? If not, upgrade to that and
see if the problem doens't go away.
