Exactly what do you do when you "encrypt it" and how are you denying other
users access and are those users also local administrators? You also can
delete a users profile by logging on as an administrator, going to system
properties/advanced - user profile settings, selecting the user profile and
then delete. Doing such will only delete any files in the user's profile
under documents and settings\user name folder. -- Steve

That is what is strange. I have since reproduced this issue. i create an
account "User 1" , encryt it, and deny other users access. The i use the
account on the internet. I then go to another admin account, delete the
account "user 1". I get a promt, do i want to delete all files or move
them.
I choose, delete them.

the account is gone, the folders remain for everyuser to see

How is that possible?

Well it sounds like something went wrong. Normally files in a user's
profile
under documents and settings are available only to the user and maybe
users
in the administrators group which may be what is happening in your case
if
the users that can access are local administrators. EFS encrypted files
by
default would only be able to be decrypted by the user that encrypted the
files though he could have "shared" the ability for others to decrypt the
files if they had needed NTFS permissions to the files. Anyhow if you no
longer want the files then logon as an administrator and delete them. On
a
shared computer I suggest that you use cipher /w:c\ [assuming files are
on C
drive] afterwards to make sure the files are not recoverable if they have
information you do not want others to see especially if other users are
in
the local administrators group. --- Steve

I have a shared computer that i set up accounts for users on.

I set up an account for a new user, that was encrypted, and restriced
from
other users.

When i deleted that accout a month later, (hitting "delete files" when
givin
the option), the files remained.

All of the deleted files temp internet files and cookies became files
available for every user!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
