[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 788254, member: 3850"] If you did "delete it immediately" the data might still be on the harddrive and is recoverable with the right tools. I'd boot off the DVDs that your iMac came with and erase the harddrive using the secure erase option. Then reinstall OS X from your DVD and shut down during the "Create a user account" setup. That will give the new owner the exact same experience you had out of the box. [/QUOTE]
