deleting a user account problem

I have deleted a user account and want to create another one with the same name.
Each time I try it says an account with the same name already exists. Is there any way to clear the deleted user account from the cache , then create another one with the same name?
Thanks

Chuckbuchan,
Right Click My Computer and click "Manage"
Under the "Local Users and Group" item, Click "Users"
Be sure to delete any accounts you do not want.

Now, in the menu above in the same window, go to Action > New User and see if you can create your new user



hope this helps.
