Second user

Hi, this saturday i created a second user on my macbook (to try and cheat on my exam that's why the name cheatyweaty ;) ). Afterwards i tried to delete it and it has been deleting ever since. I can't seem to close down 'general'. I can't turn off my laptop either. It's just been stuck on this screen since saturday.

It seems System Preferences is just stuck. You can either force System Preferences to quit, or just force your Mac to shut down:


How to force an app to quit on your Mac - Apple Support

Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


From the latter: "Important: You can force a shutdown if necessary — for example, if your Mac becomes unresponsive — by pressing and holding the power button until your Mac shuts down. "


Your MacBook Air's Touch ID button is also its power button. Press and hold.
