there are subtle differences in each version of OSX .. 10.3 will allow you to delete the folder for real instead of saving it in the "deleted users" folder and then manually deleting it.

I purchased a iBook 12" G3 and left it the way it was set up from the
previous owner, just adding my own software. Last night when I booted to
OSX, it had reset the dock and eliminated my new software from the dock,
even though it remained installed on the iBook. It also reset everything to
the old owners settings, such as e-mail settings and zeroed out my settings
on my new programs, like sites on Golive, e-mails in Entorage and custom
settings on Photoshop.
Any idea why and how I can get rid of the previous owners information
without clearing the HD and starting over from scratch installing all my
software over?
