I have attempted to create 2 new users (there already exists an admin account). One an admin and one a standard user. The public folders show up in my groups and if I try to recreate (as I did the first time when I thought it simply didn't work) it says that the home directory already exists. It appears as though these accounts exist, Yet I can't access them (they don't show up as other users) in system preferences and they don't appear on log in. Any ideas of how to resolve this would be great.
Thanks, S

1Have you tried a restart? – SPRBRN – 2017-11-06T13:49:08.037
Yes I have restarted a few times. – shan – 2017-11-07T10:26:29.597
How did you create these users? These are users created by you? If so, delete them, try again. – SPRBRN – 2017-11-07T12:40:37.793
I created them by going to system preferences - users and groups - unlocking changes and then pressing the Plus symbol at the bottom left to create a new account. Then just filling out the basic details - account type - name - password etc.. it then creates a shared folder for them in groups but no account shows up. Therefore I cannot delete them. It actually won't let me delete the shared folders for these accounts in the group for some reason either. Despite being able to see their existence unlike the accounts. – shan – 2017-11-07T16:20:29.837
