In my users file I have a folder named after an old user that I delted. I have tried changing the ownership but it still tells me the folder cannot be deleted. Any advice?

Drop to the terminal and type this command:

sudo rm -rf /Users/your_old_username_folder

That will remove all contents of the folder and the folder itself.
