Deletion of user accounts

[icemaidn68]

Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked/answered somewhere or is under the wrong section. I am wondering, if a user account is deleted without saving the user info, is any of the information used under that account retrievable? (Including bookmarked websites, music, movies, and the like.) Thank you for your help!

I wouldn't have thought so, unless data-retrieval software can do it. Which I hear is expensive and don't know much about, but hopefully someone who does will be along shortly.

Anyone else?

Does anyone else have an answer to my question?

It will be stored in a deleted users file within OS X. You can delete from there or if you wish an erase and install will remove everything.

Not if you didn't choose that option when deleting the account. If you chose to delete immediately then it's not saved. If it is saved it will be under HD> Users> Deleted Users.
