You forgot a *really important* step:

net user administrator /active:no

Leaving the Admin account active is an unnecessary security risk after
the folders have been deleted. It's quicker than changing Perms or
taking Ownership of the folders but leaving the Admin account active is
not wise as *anything* that installs when it's active will have the same
rights as the Admin on the system.
