How did you delete User X? Did you use the "Users" panel in System 
Preferences or NetInfo Manager?

The best way (IMO) would be to erase the drive and re-install the OS. 
In fact whenever I've sold a computer I erase the hard drive using a 
utility that will overwrite the entire contents. Then I will install 
the newest versions of the software that is being sold with the 
computer plus any free software updates that I have locally (don't put 
your ISP info into a computer you're selling).
