    Hello,

    I'mrunning 10.6.2

    I just used migration assistant to transfer to my new MacBook pro. When i was doing this i needed to set up a new account/user as the one already on my new MacBook pro is named the same as the one i was migrating from. With me?

    What i want to do is delete the ORIGINAL account and be left with the new one, i migrated over, as the sole account (bar guest account and whatever else is usually there).

    I can't seem to see any option for deleting the original account, the minus option is faded out when i highlight the Original account in "Accounts" in the System Pref. window.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    You can't delete the ONLY admin account.

    Give the second account admin privilege and try again!
