Control Panel -> User Accounts
Select the user you wish to be rid of (do not ever delete the "owner" or
"administrator" users..)
One of your options is to "Delete the account"..
Do that one.

Next time, use the built in "Help and Support" from the Start Menu.. Search
(in your words) for what you want. In this example, if you searched for
"deleting user" in the Help and Support, you would have found an article
titled, "Delete a user account", which if selected would have given you the
following information:

To delete a user account

1. Open Computer Management.
2. In the console tree, click Users.
Where?
Computer Management
System Tools
Local Users and Groups
Users

3. Right-click the user account you want to delete, and then click Delete.

Notes

- To open Computer Management, click Start, point to Settings, and then
click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then
double-click Computer Management.
- When you need to remove user accounts, it is a good idea to disable the
accounts first. When you are certain that disabling the account has not
caused a problem, you can safely delete it.
- A deleted user account cannot be recovered.
- The built-in Administrator and Guest accounts cannot be deleted.

Which I think is a bad thing, because it doesn't do everything the nicer GUI
way I gave you first, however, in the same search there was another article
titled, "Delete a user profile" which tells you to do this:

To delete a user profile

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to
a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this
procedure.

1. Open System in Control Panel.
2. On the Advanced tab, under User Profiles, click Settings.
3. Under Profiles stored on this computer, click the user profile you want
to delete, and then click Delete.

Note

- To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click System.

Which also really isn't as "GUI wonderful" as the first method I gave, but
gets the job done as well.

In any case.. Hope this help fix your computer problem..
