Got a good question today. I got two xp accounts one that my older borhter uses and the second acount that i use. My account is messed up and takes up alot of hard drive space. Is it possible for me to delete my account and make a new second one. I want every thing on my acoc--t to be deleted and wiped off hard dirve so i can make a a brand new one possible. Can this be done without screwing up my comp. and how can i do it? To sum it somewhat up(will everything i had on my account be deleted for good. For eg. if i had 9 gb of c-drive taken up now it will go back to 3.somthing that just regular xp takes up rite?)

User accounts overview User accounts personalize Windows for each person who is sharing a computer. You can choose your own account name, picture, and password, and choose other settings that will apply only to you. A user account gives you a personalized view of your own files, a list of favorite Web sites, and a list of recently visited Web pages. With a user account, documents you create or save are stored in your own My Documents folder, separate from the documents of others who also use the computer.
Delete a user acoount and recreate it. Sure! Will it wipe out everything under your account? I don't think so. It should remove personal settings and Favorites. It should remove everything under C:\Documents and Settings\Username\
