deletion of user acct

Hi, Now that my daughter started college and has her own laptop, I want her
to place all the files that pertain to her from my desktop, that is in her
user acct, so that I can delete it and have yet a little bit more space on
my 4 yr old pc.
On my desktop, there are (4) user accts. and I want there to be (3) now.
Do I just delete user acct?? Will it remove ALL her stuff just like that or
is there some tweaking needed in the registry. What I am hoping to acheive
is more free memory (or is it called disk space)? thanks for any ideas

After your daughter has copied her data - either by using a USB thumb
drive or burning to DVD/CD-R - then while logged into your own user
account go to Control Panel>User Accounts. Click on the icon for your
daughter's user account and choose "Delete", and then "Delete files".
This will remove all her stuff.

Yes, it is called "disk space" and not "memory".
