Why can't I delete Mac user account on my new iMac?

I bought a new iMac (so it has Lion OS 10.7.2) and transferred my data from my old Mac to new Mac using Migration Assistant.

However during this process it created some extra user accounts that I want to delete.

These user accounts are empty but when I try to delete them it doesn't do so.

(I tried to delete them from the User & Groups control panel)

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

What does it say when you try? In Users/Groups select the account you want to delete and press the - at the bottom. If it won't let you make sure it is unlocked. Click on the padlock on the bottom it will ask for administrator password. then try again.
