[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1839035, member: 131855"] When you tried to delete the unnecessary account which account were you logged into? There are some things to remember that I'm sure you accounted for but here goes: 1. You cannot delete a user account if you are logged into that account. You must be logged into a different admin account when you execute the delete. From your post it sounds like you are aware of that. 2. Before you can delete an account you must log completely out of that account. Fast user switching between accounts doesn't work. What exactly happened when you tried to delete the other account? Did you get a dialog asking whether you want to save the contents of the account? Sometimes it can appear that nothing much is going on and takes some time to delete. [/QUOTE]
