Deleted User Acct Folders Causing Problems

[Guest]

After a clean XP Pro install I set up a few user accts: 1)the main
administrator acct, 2)a user acct w/ limited access, 3 &4) two accts w/admin
access. User accts #3 &4 were deleted by #1 after a restart. Nothing was done
between the time 3&4 were created and deleted, except for the restart. Now
when I am reloading my programs I see that when I direct them to be placed on
my desktop the path shows Local Disk/Doc&Settings/ and then the old deleted
user files from #3&4 above. When I look at my folders it shows
LocalDisk/Doc&Settings/ then it lists #3 above twice, and then #4 once. When
I go to User Accts in the Control Panel it doesn't show #3&4, so it appears
that they were sucessfully deleted. Question A)Why do the deleted user accts
(3&4) still have folders under Docs&Settings? B)Can I just delete those
folders without messing things up? If that action deletes the one program
that was saved into one of those folders I will just reload it. Thanks for
your help.

If you try to delete them, they will send an 'in use' error, since an app is
installed there. It's why they were preserved past the user profile
deletion.
