User Accounts problem on XP Pro

[Delboy :)]

Hey peeps,

I previously had WinXP Home and I done a clean install of WinXP Pro, my old user account folder is still in the Documents and Settings folder and I cannot delete it. It just says Access Denied. If anyone knows how I can delete it, help would be greatly appiciated.

Cheers!

Try looking at your privileges you my need to change them to delete it.

yeah while in safe mode right click the files click properties and set the priviledges

sorry but you didn't do a clean install. The folder would be gone if that was the case. Anyway, the owner of the folder is not set properly so you need to take ownership of it to delete it.
Good luck

Yep Inaris is right, take ownership to get access
