How do i delete duplicate user accounts.
When setting up my first Mac Pro laptop and transferring files from my PC via Migration Manager I inadvertently opened two other user accounts.
How and where do I delete the duplicate accounts?
Thanks
Malc.
Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, select them, and push the - button.

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 Does One Delete Cyrus User Accounts?
When I try to use cyradm, it asks for an IMAP Password, which I don't know. I suppose it's for the _cyrus account? Should I change the _cyrus password?
See the line that starts with admins in /etc/imapd.conf.. You want to login with the username and password of the mail admin account.. For example, if my admins line in /etc/imapd.conf had the user name mailadmin, I would login with the following:
sudo -u _cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/admin/cyradm localhost --user mailadmin
The first password is because of the sudo. The second is the passwd of the mailadmin account (whatever yours is called)..
If you do not know that password, you will need to change it...
You can still not delete once in.. The ACL doesn't have delete privs by default.. Here is the command to add all privs to the mailadmin account..
sam Other\ Users/p10002 mailadmin all (this assumes you are already logged in)..
Hope this helps.. -

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. -
What's the best way to delete a duplicate user account from 11i ?
I know we can't simply delete the row from fnd_user ,
(we don't want to just 'end-date' the duplicate user account)
ThanksDear
Yes its right that we should not delete user. Actually there is no logic in deleting it. It may have performed a several work.. then how will we track it. ... YES we can rename it. or make it ineffective (no more available)...
Best Regards

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 an icloud account so it is no longer accessible?
How do I delete an icloud account from the phone so the user can no longer access the account from phone or anyother device.
I don't think you can delete an iCloud account once it's created; you can just delete the account from all of your devices and stop using it. You can also sign into the account on iCloud.com and delete any content (contacts, calendars, etc.) so it isn't available to any device that may sign into it.

How do i delete an icloud account to set up a new icloud account if you dont know the old accounts password
Welcome to the Apple community Amber
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

My Nano is full and I can no longer sync more music. How do I delete duplicate songs on the Nano to make room for syncing more songs?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
How do i delete a user from my macbook pro?
How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?
If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx
how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.
