Hi,
thanks this helped. Only problem I had was I could not find the delete
button with VO or the
Track pad. I had to get my wife to click on it. How do you get to it?
Thanks again.
Max.

Hi Max,
Brandon is correct; you should have administrator privileges.
However, even with admin privileges, you'll need to VO-space on "Click
the lock to make changes" and supply your password in order to delete
accounts. This is under System Preferences > Users & Groups on the
password tab. Use item chooser menu (VO-I) and type in "lock", then
arrow down to the "click the lock to make changes unchecked", and
press return or VO-space to go there. Then VO-space again to unlock
the control, and type your password into the authorizing dialog
window. Once you done this you can select the account you created and
delete it.
However, I usually keep at least one other guest or test account on my
system in order to check whether problem behaviors are system-wide or
specific to my account set-up. Once you've made changes to the user
account settings, you might want to VO-space on the lock again, to
prevent further changes to these settings.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
