How to REBUILD a user

So, I seem to have mucked up my migration.

Moving from an HD to an SSD (older 2008 MBP still on SL 1.6.8. at first, I built the OS on the SSD, and then I transferred from the HD in the system the base user to the SSD, sans a bunch of photos, music, movies, and desktop and downloads (this was the big meat of the files)

now that I reboot into the SSD, with it not happily installed in the old MBP, I have a DIFFERENT user in there, and ANOTHER user. not really sure what has happened.

The apps are fine, mail is fine, most things are fine, but I can't really get rid of the others users. (I've gone into preferences to delete them, but one time the system wouldn't even come back up and i WASN'T in the root user.)

So, what is the best way to PURGE ALL USERS, and get back to a fresh install (without doing another install actually) and just migrating in my old user from the now external HD?

Is there a way to PURGE, flush, and then re-instal/migrate?

 

maybe

so, here is putting it a different way.

What if I create ANOTHER user, just an admin account. Then, login with that one, delete the other two accounts that are currently there.

Then, create a user with my name, login with that one (which will be basically blank) and then just do the migration assistant again? Would that work?

 

good deal

Good deal, that's where I ended up. Makes total sense and why of course I had an xyz2 account created, where all I wanted was xyz..

thanks for the confirmation
