Hi,
I created a new user account and now I don't need it anymore. So, I deleted the account and it disappeared from the login screen, but it still shows up in the Users folder on my 'C' drive and when I try to delete it from there, it tells me that it can't be deleted because the folder is being used by another program.

Please tell me how to delete it.

Hello,
Tyr these steps:
Turn on the hidden administrator account by:
Go to Programs > Accessories > right click on Command prompt and select "run as administrator".
Enter the following command and press Enter:
Net user administrator /active:yes
Reboot and log on with the username "Administrator" but don't set password.
Delete it and then disable it with the command by doing the same as above except using the command:
Net user administrator /active:no
