Depends, there is an option to delete everything that was in her name, but just try to search for the documents, chances are, they are still there.

How do you accidently delete a username :dunno:. You can try System Restore.

Actually, before you delete the account, it gives you an option whether to delete files or keep them.

If you can't find the files, accidently slap your brother :slap:

if she saved in My Documents, they are most likely gone. if she saved somewhere else, they are probably still there.
