I am getting the above error message when attempting to
delete a user's account in WIN XP Professional. I tried
deleting and keeping the user files. I have about 40GB
hard drive space so that shouldn't be an issue. the
account's files have been emptied. I booted to safe mode
and the account is not listed there. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
