How can I get rid of all traces of a netbook's previous owner?
I bought a used Samsung N-150 netbook with Windows 7 Starter. The previous owner deleted his user account, but. left the files associated with it. I will be the only user and do not want to be annoyed by having to log out as a user in order to log in as administrator. The only account I want on the machine is the administrator account.
So far, everything I try to set-up or save defaults to the left-over file structure under the previous owner's user's name.
After numerous searches for a way to get rid of all files associated with this guy, I am about ready to re-format the drive, then re-install the operating system from the recovery partition.
Is there an easier way to get this guy out of the computer?
