Delete Profile in XP Home

[waterfall]

Hello,

Here's something that should be really easy.  But...... When I  click on the profile name, the delete button is grayed-out.   I've tried running delprof.exe from MS, but it only deleted another profile, but left behind the one I want gone!  And the whole folder tree under Documents and Settings is still there; about 3GB that I can't eliminate!

Is there another way?  Via the registry perhaps?  

FYI--To find the profile setting:
Control Panel-->System-->System Properties-->Advanced-->User Profiles-->Settings

What profile do you want to delete?
I don't think you can delete the only profile, if it is the only profile.
And you also can't delete the Administrator profile.
Do you have admin access?

Do you have admin access?

Thanks for the replies Calum and vinhboy,

Yes, I have admin access.  Actually, delprof.exe deleted the Aministrator profile as well!  I'm now logged in as admin nontheless. The only profile left is the one I don't use; it doesn't even have a corresponding user account.  But the folder is still there, with 3GB of application settings, etc. that I can't eliminate.

Very strange  :-?

At some point a while ago, I changed the name of a user. But apparently, the old profile tree stayed in the system.  There must be a way to prevent it from loading at startup.........

Try from the Admin account in safemode...

Ok, I've gotten a little further  

I created a second administrator account, Admin1, and was able to delete that unwanted profile.  Maybe I originally created that profile with administrator privileges and then accidentally deleted the user name?  I don't know. It's history now.

The new problem:
I have that newly created account, Admin1, with administrator privileges.  However, I want to rename it to Administrator like originally.  When I try to either rename or create an account Administrator from Admin1, it tells me the account already exists.  But, I see it nowhere---no User Name, no Profile named Administrator.   I've even tried approaching this from Safe Mode (thanks patio).

It's had me stumped for a while now.  Any ideas?

There is a default Administrator account automatically created by XP...i believe there can only be one with the same name.
