personally I use a free file manager rather than finder it's called doublecommander and show a lot more by default and is for me easier to navigate

I have this problem too I found the files in /Users folder on finder but I can't delete them, they go in bin but from there I am not able to delete them, there is a red minus sign on the desktop folder in my deleted user could it be related to that? there is nothing in that folder so I don't really have a problem with space, but I still want to delete it for completeness sake, does anyone know how? when I try to delete it from bin it says the folder is in use but that's not really possible cause the user has been deleted

When you delete a user account you are asked if you want to delete the files or keep them. Did you choose delete the files? If not, I believe the folder should still be in /Users.

More specifically: press Command-Shift-H to go to your home folder, then Command-UpArrow to go one level up.

Do you see a folder with the name of the user account you removed?
