Old User Profiles Unaccesible after XP reinstall
About a week ago i recieved a virus that corrupted my registery to the point to where me computer was not able to start on its own, i then started it using my XP cd and replaced all my system files using it, however after i had deleted most of my old programs i realized i still had about 8 gigabites less space than i should have had, and i noticed that one of my old profiles was still in the Documents and Settings folder. When i clicked on properties it said that it had 0 bytes and contained nothing and when i attempt to open it it says "access is denied". however when i run Disk Defragmenter it shows that there are quite a few fragmented files in there that are about 600mb and more. i already tried making new profiles with the same name but instead of showing up as "peter" it shows up as "peter.petercomp.windows". i know that all the space is being taken up by the profile because before i reinstalled XP i had about 500 music files in the "My Music section" I've been trying to fix this problem for a week, how do i delete the profile? please help!! i know that the extra space is coming fro
