[QUOTE="MacLicious, post: 1556596, member: 133300"] Thanks to all for the helpful replies. I am in the process of making a bootable thumb drive. I did not see your reply when I started this Craig, but found an almost the same article from MacWorld that I am following: [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/2056563/should-you-do-a-clean-install-of-mavericks.html]Should you do a "clean install" of Mavericks? | Macworld[/url] It is not a fast process I am noticing! Thought I'd be done in a few minutes but it is more time consuming than that. I will post my results upon completion in case anyone is interested. UPDATE: I decided just before I did a clean install to just follow some advice I obtained from the Apple forums. I was advised that I could use Directory Utility to delete the User Profile I didn't want (after making sure I backed up any files I didn't want to lose). It worked like a charm! [/QUOTE]
