Hi all!

I try to as much as I can!

...but really, the "delete user/account" option is not available!

I have 2 admins and the guest account which is turned off!

I've tried to delete the second admin while logged in with the main admin but as I mentioned the "delete account/user' option is not available!

That's what threw me off!

I don't think you can delete administrator accounts. Try changing the extra account to a regular one then try deleting it.

I can't really change the type of account and make it limited...and deleted afterwards, I'll try to get some screen shots later this evening when I am at home.
