I had to ‘fresh’ install windows XP, without formatting, and without going the recovery route (long and irrelevant story)

Now I have duplicates of the subfolders in ‘Documents and Settings’ It looks like the following…

All Users  
All Users.WINDOWS  
Default User  
Default User.WINDOWS  
LocalService  
LocalService.NT AUTHORITY  
NetworkService  
NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY  
Me  
Me.ME-OIUGY8956F  
I think the ones with the capitalized bits are for the current ‘login’. If the others belonged to the old installation how do I get rid of them? Or (better) how do I get access to the ‘me’ one (it’s not ‘me’ but my name) as It probably contains some useful things.

Thanks
