Dear All,
Thanks much for your suggestions.
My problem turned-out to be two (apparently) separate problems.
First was the problem of unreclaimed storage. To resolve this problem I had to (re)create the old user accounts, using the add user tab and the same user names and passwords. With this done I was able to access the old accounts and remove the non-default files manually. I then deleted these accounts.
The second problem involved the "Private home shares for users" selection in the Security>Add User>Preferences panel. At some point this was set to disabled. Once I re-enabled it life was, once again, good.
Again, thanks much for your suggestions. Best,
Sam
