It seems as if its able to delete files but crashes when deleting the user... or possibly, it crashes half way through deleting files. Try answering 'No' to that step, and deleting them manually. (e.g: del c:\docume~1\whateveruser)

If it still crashes, try deleting the user using the command 'mmc lusrmgr.msc' in Start > Run.

So I decided to start-up in Safe mode. And upon doing this I open up The User Accounts window and for my eyes to see. Only 2 accounts showed up

that's because you can only see Administrator accounts when running in safe mode, oddly enough.
