Removing a "corrupted " profile in XP

Hi,
Few weeks back I was unable to boot my PC in to my user profile, something had been corrupted on my user profile, and so windows loaded a default profile. I created a new profile, and transferred over the data etc so that the new profile was identical to the old one.I now want to delete the old profile, as I have accidentally booted up with the old one a few times. How do I remove a user profile in XP??

1) How many profiles do you have?
2) What are their folder titles?
3) Which one did you want to boot into?

Start, control panel, system, Advanced, Choose User Profiles, and click settings, and then delete the profile you don't want.

Let me know if you have any questions
