    Hey, I recently did a system restore and when It had finished it asked me to make a user account like you do when you start windows for the first time. So I did and all went well.

    But I just looked in the My Documents and Settings Folder and my old user account is still there under the name Steve and it has created a new one for me named Steve.PC84584954 or something to that affect, despite this there is only one user account option when starting windows and thatsthe new one I just made, how do I delete all the old stuff as its gonna take up alot of space, its not down as a user account, theres just the new one I created so how am I supposed to delete all this junk?

    :confused:

    thanks
