Deleting user accounts...

[dwarfystyle69]

While removing a user account on my macbook pro, I force quit because after approximately a 1/2 hour the process seemed unresponsive. I tried to give it a second attempt and the user account i was deleting is gone...

However! I checked the hard drive storage space on the mac and there was still around 50 gig being used (mostly Audio, Apps, and Other).

After doing a little research, while I was writing this message I check again and that size has reduced to 22 gig.

Is the mac finishing the job even though I stopped the process?

If not, how do I clean up the remaining space on the hard drive given that I can't access the the original user account?

Hello and welcome.

It can take quite a while to delete a user if the User folder is very large.

-Is the deleted user still present in Users folder? In Accounts preference pane?
-How large was the folder?

Not sure it would continue after force quit, but it could be possible...especially if the computer wasn't restarted.
