My OS is Home Premium and had created an account say "XXX YYY". I then
deleted this account but the following folder didn't get deleted:

C:\USERS\XXX YYY

The account has been deleted but not this folder. How can I delete
this folder?

Hi,

Use an elevated command prompt or run explorer as administrator. Take
ownership (if necessary), then delete it.

To open an elevated command prompt, type CMD into the start box, right click
the menu entry and choose 'run as administrator'. From the prompt, run "del
/y c:\users\xxxyyy".

Similar for explorer, just right click the menu entry and use the 'run
as...' option, it will allow you sufficient privileges to operate on system
folders.
