I just installed Vista Ultimate on a new Intel E8400 processor base
machine and activated it. I originally had installed the software on a
AMD powered machine that relied on Nvidia drivers and had far too man
problems. Now I have seen a new problem that I can't explain but i
either was caused by some careless act on my part or by some othe
unknown operation. I noticed that my C drive had shrunk by about 18 G
for some reason so I started looking at tree sizes and found that th
C:\Users folder was out of range. Then I found that there was a use
listed that does not show up when I look at User Accounts in Contro
Panel. By coincidence or by some stupid error, the name on the accoun
is my First ans Last names just when I entered it as the computer owner
The mystery user folder (attachment 1) looks normal at first; it ha
the expected custom folders inside and most are empty . Then I clicke
on the first folder listed, the hidden folder, AppData (attachment 2
and found it contained about 17.5 GB of data. The contents include
second AppData folder and a duplication of several large folders from
different user account. I opened the second AppData folder (attachmen
3) and while it looks normal it is definitely not identical to the one
level above it. I guess I could just go into the tree for this myster
user and just start deleting folders but because of its name I want t
be cautious and not trash my whole installation. I hope someone ca
suggest a cause of my problem and suggest a save way out of it. TI
