Installed 10.1 this weekend and am very pleased with the fact that I can now stay in X (or at least classic) most of the time. However last night I was creating a user for my wife and had forgot to assign her a password. So after already saving the User settings, I re-opened the User system preference, and attempted to give her a password. Which it wouldn't let me do.
I don't remember exactly what the dialogue box said, but it led me to believe that somehow I would either have to log in as her, or give the original pass before I couldn change it (which there wasn't suppose to be a pass, because I didn't give her one!). So, I figured, easy enough. I'll just delete the user.
Now I have a folder in the Users folder entitled something like "rburney's deleted folder" or something similar, that I cannot trash. It says I'm not allowed to put that file in the trash...it makes no mention of not having enough priveleges, it just says that folder can't be moved. I've managed to throw away the contents (documents, music, movies folders, etc.)...but not the users folder itself. If I attempt to move it to the desktop or some other place, it merely copies it. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated...thanks.
