After I had to perfoem a nondestructive system recovery. This recovery set my
system to factory condition but saved all documents and settings. We
recovered to a default user account. Control panel for managing users doed
not have the old profiles. I can access all the users by going to documents
and settings. My question is it ok to delete the old user folders from
documents and settings? Will this delete any important files? I can move my
files from here to new user(dta etc.) no problem but I could really use the
space that these old users are occupying. THANKS!!!

As long as you're only deleting the folders for accounts you
created you'll be fine. Do not delete any of the folders that
Windows created such as Administrator, All Users, Default User,
Local Service and Network Service.

Good luck

This looks like a winner! I haven't tried it yet. I've got to straighten out
Norton Virus before I do any more. But I beleive this will do it.
THANk-YOU!!!!!!! I will let you know how it turns out.
 
Yess!!! This did just what I wanted without screwing up my system. Thank-you
so much for your time.
