Can't delete unused profiles

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When I try to delete unused profiles from documents and settings, I get an
error that the profile is sharing Downloads with other profiles, and if I
delete the profile, I'll delete the Downloads folder.

I have several profiles that are left over from various reasons that aren't
used and are taking up a lot of hard drive space. They are:

Administrator
Administrator.DELL-1
Administrator.DELL-1.000
Administrator.DELL-1.001
All Users
All Users.WINDOWS
Default User
Default User.WINDOWS
LocalService
LocalService.NT AUTHORITY
LocalService.NT AUTHORITY.000
Nancy
Nancy1
NetworkService
NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY
NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY.000
Owner
Owner.DELL-1
Owner.DELL-1.000

I'm using the Nancy profile.

I know I have to keep
Administrator
All Users
Default User
Local Service
Nancy

Do I have to keep Owner as well? And what should I do to delete the unused
ones to free up hard drive space?
