Other Users & Shared Disk Space

Help

In Settings > General > Storage I have 190.47GB allocated to "Other Users & Shared". When I was setting the Mac up initially I fat fingered my name and ended up with an"irf" account and an "off" account. The admin account is "orf".

  1. Is the shared data being shared between the :irf" and "orf" accounts?
  2. Can I safely delete the "irf" user?
  3. Will that free up the "Other Users & Shared" space?
