Trying to delete two user accounts on my mac book air, it has been deleting them for two days and I am un able to turn my computer off, what should i do?

How do I go about either stopping a delteing user account that is in action, or How do I reboot my computer? I am stuck not sure what to do! I am in the process of deleting two user accounts but I am stuck and can't turn my computer off reboot, or reverse it. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart.

How do I delete a user account to regain the space on my HD?

How do I delete a user account I am not using to regain the space on the HD?

System Preferences - Accounts - choose account in the left panel and click the "-" button to delete. You'll want to choose "Delete immediately" to save the space (the "Save in disk image" option will keep the files in an image in your Users folder, which saves you no space).

How to delete the existing user and does not loose the shopping cart link, confirmations for etc and then create back the account for the user?
I believe you can not delete the user 100% fully since all documents must be closed before.since it had a relation in crmd_partner table. However it has links with business objects..
Copied from forum threads.. for your reference..
Note 1148837 - SRM user cannot be deleted
in consulting note 550071
Q8. What happens if I delete the user who has created the shopping cart
A8. If the user is deleted, and the shoping cart exists in the application, then the shooping cart cannot be displayed. If you want to view/ process those shopping carts, then you have to create a dummy user and retrieve the document. In CRMD_PARTNER table, the old user GUID should be replaced with the new user GUID.
User deleted from SRM, deletion of SC not possible
if you have a central recipient cancel them with that role or as advised by akash cancel from r/3.
discussions are welcome..

When i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

when i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
User accounts should be on the home directory.

Can't delete old user accounts from iBook (G3 - Darwin 6.8)

Hello,
I'm having a pain of a time trying to remove the old user accounts on this iBook I was given. The accounts page in the system settings is unlocked, I click on an accountm, the click on Delete User, it works for a while, and then when it is finished 'deleting' the user account is still there, nothing has been deleted. I've try a dozen times now. I'm stumped. Can't find anything on the internet that will help.
Thanks,
David.

So far, I've not had this kind of issue; but did find a few directions to check to see how to go about removing user accounts... or renaming them, etc. One of the recent discussions I've read through (three pages) had some ideas that could work.
Outside of booting the OS X computer into a super-user account where you can delete Admin users, etc and probably if not familiar with unix, do some incredible damages too; I'd try other exercises first as I am timid. What version of OS X is running in your vintage computer?
In the process of 'Change Name on Home Folder' some revealing ideas came across; some may transfer...

However, there are no warrantees expressed or implied. Always a fine idea to read and sort information since some of the ideas available only allow you do perform the practice once correctly. Or wish you had.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT4796 how to delete the user pc account on my mac?

i tried to transfer files from my pc to mac. now i want to delete the user pc account on my mac because it didn't transfer the files i needed.

Ensure it's logged out, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock the pane, select it, and press the - button.

I deleted a user account on my Macbook air and it says "Deleting account..." but it's been like that for about a month or so. Do I have to keep waiting or do I have to do something else?

It has been a very long time and it still says "Deleting account..." and i cannot close my System Preferences and if i try to exit it says "System Preferences is busy and can't be closed. Users & Groups preferences is removing a user account and Home directory."

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

I need to delete my user account

i need to delete my user account

If you mean your iTunes account then you can't currently delete them, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you downloaded or bought with it will remain tied to it, so if you ever want to re-download it or authorise it on a new computer then you will need to remember its id and password

I deleted an user account and need to recover an iPhoto library + albums

I deleted a user - and didn't realize that my main iPhoto Library belonged to that user. I want to somehow recover the photos AND albums so that I can import them into another user's iPhoto without having to sift thru thousands of photos to repiclate the original albums.
I am both users - I just run two accounts on the same computer. I have almost all of the photos in my other user account but not my last vacation nor any album information. So I'm currently stuck with 80% of my photos and no album information until I figure this out.
The deleted user account is present and I can get a disk image of it. I just don't know how to procede. I tried dropping the album xtml file into iPhoto but that didn't work. (D'uh) Is there a fix for this?
TIA

Hi Brooks, The right way to do it is to import the photos from within iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't like it when you drop stuff in from within Finder. Ditto iTunes.
Open iPhoto>File>Import to library...
Navigate to the albums in the deleted user folder, click 'Import'.
Hope this helps.

If i delete an additional account user do you lose everything?

If i delete an additional account user do i lose everything? especially all my iphotos & documents?

You only lose what's in that account's user folder if you don't save the data. Everything else remains intact.

Delete (-) for user account dimmed.

I had created a “Guest Account” that I would now like to delete, however I cannot. When I log into my administrator account, go to System Preferences and unlock the lock to allow changes and then select the guest account, the delete [-] for the guest account is dimmed. How do I get rid of this account?

Within the guest account, was there any higher privilege given to make it
equal to your main Admin account? In those cases where a secondary
account was given high privilege, that would have to be revoked prior to
being able to simply remove the account from the system.
Some access from the guest account may be holding up the delete process.
(This is an area where I have only read several things about; however I did
add a link and quote to this reply which may be of help if nothing else works.
But it has a limited answer, too; the main command is dimmed out, inviting
you to try other advanced or even routine maintenance on your computer.)
An account access permissions issue may likely only be a maintenance matter.
But check the settings used to create and maintain the Guest user accounts.
*See this topic:* "How do I completely disable the Guest Account in Leopard?"
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/completelydisable_guest_account_mac_os_xleopard.html
Sometimes, issues within accounts, users and privileges go odd; it may
be you would need to repair disk and disk permissions from the booted
Installer's Disk Utility version. Also, check and repair anything in the OS
that may have been lacking. There are times where general maintenance
is a way to fix odd issues that otherwise have no explanation.
Have you started the computer into SafeBoot, and when then in the admin
account, see about removing the guest or other user; or at least try to make
the settings function? Some extensions and system bits are inactive when
the computer system is booted into SafeBoot Mode, but you can use this to
an advantage since it does a basic repair on startup. Then run Disk Utility,
and its 'repair disk permissions' then when done, quit D.U. & restart normally.
There are several Support documents on the topic of user accounts and how
to manage them; some troubleshooting of them involves reading up on the
variable and ways you can change the settings. I'd use caution since there is
a way to Delete a Guest User Account that involves the terminal or root level
and fair attention to detail is required so as to not affect more than the one item.
A post in this Discussion tread tells of how to delete a guest user account:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1521487
From May 14, 2008 as contributed by V.K. to resolve another user's problem:
+"From an admin account uncheck the option enabling Guest account in accounts+
+system preferences and then enter the following command in terminal.+
*sudo dscl . delete /users/Guest*
+Please just copy and paste the above. That's very important, you don't want+
+to delete a wrong thing here. You'll have to enter your admin password which+
+you won't see (that's normal).+
*This command will delete the Guest user.*
+Now go to the accounts preferences and enable Guest. This should create+
+Guest user afresh and hopefully resolve the password issue. Restart and+
+try the guest user again. Double check and make sure that it's enabled."+
{This last part, should you need to re-create a guest user again.}
While I have not tried this, nor have I ever created a Guest User account in
any of my dozens of Macs, (prefer to create Standard user for daily use; or
try the Parental Controls to minimize damages an inexperienced user may
create in the process of over-reaching their grasp) I can see it may be handy.
Hopefully some of the above may be helpful. Usually if a system function is
acting oddly, sticks, or won't work correctly, some systematic maintenance
is likely behind the situation. To have and run AppleJack from single user or
perform other preventative actions to head off possible issues, are ideas, too.
Since I don't use AppleJack, and seldom need to run in the command line or
single user or terminal mode, some of that is out of my range. I've found most
of the issues I've read about can be prevented. However, if a user gets into the
OS and can move things around, trash or misplace important parts, etc; odd
things can happen. Unfriendly or careless/unwanted user access can mess it up.
Usually about once a month whether or not the computer needs it, I run OnyX
and have it complete all items check-marked in Automation, and have it set to
restart the computer when that group is finished. There are other tools in it, too.
Perhaps the combination of things can help; or just what Dave Taylor said.
Good luck & happy computing!

How long should it reasonably take to delete a User Account?

Just got a new 27" iMac. I made the mistake of setting myself up as a user prior to migrating from my olde Mac G5 (Tiger). When I did migrate, I realized it set up a new user with the migrated info. Went ahead and kept that user and deleted the one I had created. Problem is it has been "deleting" my user account for close to 6 hours. Is this reasonable, or do I have a problem going on? User screen in System Preferences just keeps saying deleting user. Won't let me quit System Preferences or Restart.
Thanks.

I decided to let it run overnight. Checked it this morning and it was complete. Go figure...
Not sure what the process of deleting a user account involves, but it sure took a long time, something more than 7 hours. I definitely don't want to have to do that again!
Thanks for the response, I was going to go that route if it wasn't complete this morning.
