Can't delete account

(XP home edition) Have 3 admin accounts, wanted to delete one. Asks, "want to
delete files?". I say yes, it locks up (hr. glass comes up, stays). Was able
to change it to limited acct, but still can't delete.

What happens if you tell it to leave the files? It may just be that there are
lots of them and it takes a while.

OK, if all else fails, drop to a command line. Do this:

Hold the Window key and hit R
Type cmd.exe in the dialog box that comes up
Assuming you are logged on as an administrator, type the following in the
command prompt window:
net user <account name> /delete

That is usually far faster than using the GUI.
