Bogus SID hanging around

Recently I tried to manually run a scheduled task by
right-clicking the task and hitting run. However,
nothing happens. When I double-click the task, the
following message comes up:

General page initiation failed.
The specific error is:
0x80070534. No mapping between account names and
security IDs was done.

Looking around at various files' & folders' security
tabs, I can see an SID without an associated user. I
suspect this was left over from when my user profile got
corrupted, and I had to create accounts, transfer files,
delete accounts, etc. The problem is, this SID appears
to be all over the place, likely on several thousands of
objects security descriptors. How can I get rid of it
and get my security setup back to normal? I've already
tried the procedure in Q247482 without success.

Windows XP Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8200 with 256 MB RAM,
40 GB hard drive, 2.0 GHz Pentium 4, all this taking
place with my personal administrator-level account.
