Well, I'm new to this forum, mainly because i haven't ran into any problems so far with my mac and now that it's giving me a headache i figured this might be a way to solve my problems........

without knowing what i was really doing to myself i created a new user (admin) and deleted the original user (admin) because i couldn't remember my original password....long story short all my old files that were being used by the original user have been made into a system folder when i click on users....
all the sub folders are locked and i can't make copies into the new user i created.. in fact i can't even delete the folder itself and it's taking up 7 gigs on the hard drive....so i guess my question is, is there anyway to salvage my old files at all, and if not how can i go about at least getting rid of the folder so it won't be waisting space.....

any help would be greatly appreciated.......
