Hi, new member here. My brother used to use my laptop and i had the Guest account turned on for him so he would use that and i had my own account to use but after a few days i turned Guest account off and when it asked to 'delete the files' i clicked on 'yes'. Now when i run a virus scan on my laptop i see what files are being scanned, and of times i see files that i have deleted from the guest account. I looked in   C:\Users\Guest   and there is nothing in there. Are these files hidden somewhere? And if they are can anyone tell me where? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, i followed on what to do and when i go on to 'Manage Accounts' there are only 2 accounts, Mine and Guest which is turned off. Anything else i can try, Or do you think i should just use the 'wipe free space' on CCleaner?

First try turning the account back on and then follow the guide? but then push delete files instead of keep files and Delete Account instead of disabling the account. If that don't work, then try wiping FREE space on the drive.
