Delete Hidden User Accounts

My girlfriend has a Powerbook G4 Titanium 867MHz and is running Panther 10.3.9. She had purchased it used and has had it for quite some time now. Ever since she bought it, it has had a user account labeled "Other" at the opening Log-in screen. She has tried to remove this by going into her System Preferences and clicking on Accounts, but the account labeled "Other", under Other Accounts, does not appear and therefore does not exist to be deleted. Has anyone else come across this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks.
Mike

Hi Robert and thank you for your input. Although you say that you are no expert, the fact that you had read about this or a similar problem has been incredibly insightful and I think I have stumbled onto something. I did a search for "other user", like you had suggested, restricting the category to "Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier", and found this discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1211679&#1211679
Thanks to Rich JG's note, I was able to log into "Other..." using "root" as the username and the usual password. Once logged in, I went to System Preferences>Accounts and found that this account is the System Administrator (root) account. My girlfriend still an administrator title, but we don't know what to do now, with the root account.
Does anybody know if we can delete the root account, without affecting the system? Are there precautionary measures we should take, before we make any changes?
Once again, thank you all for your assistance.
Mike

  • How to delete a hidden user account?

    I recently installed livescribe desktop on my computer and the "other" option at the login appeared.  The account is hidden, how do I delete it?  Is there a way to delete it through terminal?

    I found a solution to remove the "other" account that Livescribe creates.  It is on their forum
    http://www.livescribe.com/int/faq/support_forum.html#/forums/showthread.php?t=11 253&page=2
    Under the section
    To delete the hidden user account I opened Finder and looked for the following file under the following path: Macintosh HD /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow
    I deleted the file and rebooted. Mac rebuilt the login users list, which will reveal the Livescribe hidden account. Login using your admin account (not the Livescribe one) and then go to System Preferences, then Accounts. You will then see the Livescribe account. Delete it like you'd delete any normal account.
    This is not a very friendly install.  It opens all kinds of security concerns.  Livescribe should be warned, scolded, or something for doing this.  They also install an adobe app (adobe air) in the process making it look like an update.  this seems really sneaky and is not appreciated.
    I lost many hours searching, disconnecting my mac from the net and contemplating a full reformat and reinstallation until I found this. 
    NOT NICE AT ALL.
    At least I have gotten rid of the account now.

  • HELP! How Do I Delete Hidden Users?

    i'm running 10.6.7. i have a hidden user account on my machine created by a livescribe installation.  i've removed livescribe from my machine, but now want to delete the livescribe account that was created.  anyone know how to do this?
    ADthanksVANCE!

    How do you know it's a "hidden Account?"
    Don't know if this will help. To show all invisible Folders:
    Open terminal and copy/paste:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
    Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect. Use the command
    killall Finder
    Or get EasyFind, set to show Invisible files, and search for it there. When you find it, try "Destroy" from EF or choose "Reveal in Finder" and move it to the Trash from there. You may need to enter your password.

    hidden is what i named the new account by the way. now o restarted the computer and when the login screen came up it no longer showed the new account (named hidden) so i logged onto my original account but upon logging on the problems are back.

  • 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).

  • 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...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3366855?tstart=0
    And some ideas that could be used to another end, may be found here...

    How to delete user accounts...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/3836878#3836878
    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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Deleting a user account question

    Hi everyone, can anyone tell me the best way to delete a user account on my computer? Basically I no longer need two accounts and the music, movies and other information from the other side have been transferred to another computer. What I need to know if should I delete all the files from the user account before deleting the account or will deleting the account automatically delete all those files?
    My main concern is freeing up space on the computer again and want to be sure the way I do it will do the job. Thanks for any help.
    -Brian

    What I need to know if should I delete all the files from the user account before
    deleting the account
    You don't need to do anything beforehand. After following Macjack's instructions you will be presented with this option screen, and can choose accordingly:

  • I am trying to delete a user account but attempt locks up system prefs

    I have been trying to delete a user account in 10.9.1 (Mavericks) on a 2009 Mac Pro. The problem is that System Prefs never completes the "archive account" and when check which processes are using up CPU time I find that writeprefs is pegged at 100% and has stayed at that level for seven hours plus. Of course the account is never removed and the only way of restarting the machine is to force quit system prefs after which the reboot works. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Do you really need to archive the user folder?
    linc, that would be desirable but not absolutely essential.  And, thank you for your swift response!

  • What does deleting a user account do?

    What does deleting a user account actually do? If the account that is being deleted is the one from which many programs have been installed, does deleting the account delete the software too?

    It instantly deletes everything to do with that account.
    But programs can be installed for all users or just one user.
    There is an Applications folder at root, then possibly another one for each user, if the Apps aren't at root, then they'll be gone deleting the user that installed them for only that user.
