Right-click My Computer and select Properties to bring up the System Properties panel now Click the Advanced tab and then, in the User Profiles area, click the Settings button.

From the User Profile dialog box select the individual profile you want to delete. Click the Delete button and confirm the action and Click OK.

    This works only for the profiles that are active and can be seen on the start menu. There are ca 4 obsolete users listed in Documents and Settings that I want to remove. How?
