I am having something strange going on, I have tow "user" folders on my hard drive, they are identical, both are functional. When I clean up window it puts one folder on top of the other one, I can drag it off eachother. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

nope they are identical, no arrow. It's odd could it be a finder bug and if it is how do I fix it. Just fyi, I'm running 10.2.8.

In column view, when you click the "home" icon in your finder toolbar, which of the Users folders is highlighted? And can you trash the one that isn't?

please open a terminal, type "ls -al /" and copy the result here (it will list the content of the root directory, with some usefull details)
