So I gota PS3 and one of the first things I did was create an online account. However, I did it before I knew to create a new user, so it's on the prior owner's user account. There are a few problems with this. I want to start from scratch with my own account, but already created an online account (with my favorite username mynameisdumb, my email, and a few friends) on the wrong profile.

So I need to know. Is there a way to transfer my online account from one user to another? And if not, is it possible to just delete the original user and just recreate the online account with the same username?

Sorry if that was confusing, I'm trying my best as I'm new to the PS3 world haha. Thanks in advance for any help!

How do you delete an existing user? I looked earlier and couldn't find it.

Also remember to transfer all saves over to the new user, friends and trophies etc. are on your PSN account but game data is not.
