delete user account

[tamw]

my son created a user account on 30/06/08. this account is no longer in "user accounts" and i cant delete it in "command prompt". its taking up quite a bit of room, can anyone help? (have also tried "purgecache")

What is the operating system? Can you be more specific?

For instance look at some similar threads: http://forums.techarena.in/security-...ers/813772.htm

Go into C:\Documents and Settings and find the associated subdirectories. Take ownership of them and delete the user accounts.
