I want to sell my old PC so of course I want to remove any traces of my from it. Unfortunately, mictosoft made that about as easy as finding a virgin in a cathouse. I went to users in control panel and bot it changed there, but my name is still showing under c:\users/. What needs to be done to change this?

It ALSO needs a full wipe and reinstall, not just remove that user.
During the install, STOP when you get to the point of a username.

Preferably, do this fresh OS install with the system completely offline. No WiFi, no ethernet.
