When deleting a local user account, what three options does Users & Groups preferences give you for dealing with the user’s home folder content?
When deleting a local user account, OS X can archive the home folder content into a compressed disk image, leave the home folder content in the /Users folder, or delete the home folder content. Optionally, OS X can perform a secure erase on the home folder content.
How do you make OS X associate a new local user account with a manually migrated or restored user’s home folder?
Before the local user account is created on a system, you must first copy the restored user’s home folder to the /Users folder. Then after you create the new user in Users & Groups preferences with the same account name, the system will prompt you to associate the new account with the restored home folder.
