They're not users, they're profiles. One of these is the profile for your new
account - if you delete this it will cause serious problems. The other is the
profile from your old account - this presumably has your documents.

First you need to find out which is your current profile. Put a file into your
"My Documents" folder and see which profile it winds up in.

Move all your documents from your old profile to your new one. You can then
delete the old profile, though I'd recommend moving it somewhere in case you
missed something you'll need later.
