I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my computer and
totally forgot to delete one of the user accounts that is
no longer used and takes up a lot of hard drive space.
Unfortunately, it is also protected so I am unable to
access it. I tried to logon to it and just deleting it
with no success. Any suggestions?
