I you are using Windows, click "Start" then "Control Panel" then "User Accounts," then "Change an Account." Choose the account you wish to delete, then click "Delete Account" it will ask you if you want to keep the account's files, say yes only if you had something important on that account. NOTE:you can only delete accounts if you are a administrator.
If you are using a Mac, click "System Preferences" then "Accounts" then select the account you wish to delete and click the little minus sign at the bottom. NOTE: Like Windows, you can only delete accounts if you are an administrator.

Delete account

I am assuming that you are using Windows 7 but the basic steps are same for XP and Vista. You need to go to the Start Menu, then click on Control Panel. In the control panel find User Accounts. Inside user accounts you can manage and delete users (assuming you are logged in as an administrator.)
Hope that helps.

Want to delete old account and make knew one

Hi carolgard276...

Left click on "Start">left click on "Control Panel">left click on "User Accounts">left click on "Change an Account".

You probably already know that only computer adminitrators can delete user accounts. But even if you are a computer administrator, you can't delete your own acount. You'll need to ask someone else with a computer administrator account to do this for you.
If there are no other computer admistrator accounts on your computer, you must first change someone else's account type to "computer administrator", and then ask that person to delet your account.
This ensures that there is always at least one person with a computer admimistrator account who can manage all user accounts and make system-wide changes to the computer.
