User Account deleted but...

I deleted a user account (via Control Panel>User Accounts) and selected to
delete all files etc relating to the user. However, the user's folder still
appears in Users folder in Explorer with various subfolders. I understand
there may be problems if I simply delete this folder. Is there a safe way
to get rid of it?

Hi,

If it's still there after you reboot, then you can safely delete the user
folder.
