can't remove corrupted user account

[jbclem]

Both my administrator and personal user account are corrupted. Everytime
I boot up I'm in a temporary user account. I've removed the personal user
account and added a new personal one(with administrator permissions). After
rebooting into the new personal one, I tried to add another personal user
account using the name of the corrupted one. But I get an error message
saying that I can'tl add this user name because it "already has permission
to use this computer".

Apparently removing the user account wasn't enough. Does anyone know what I
have to do to completely remove this account so that I can use the same name
again?
