    By 'blocked' I assume you mean deleted.
    - What method did you use?
    - What option did you choose when you were asked if you wanted to keep or delete all that user's files?

    What is there in C:\Users\ within the username folder of the old account?

    If there are no backups then you might get some files back by using Recuva. There is some guidance about using Recuva in
    Restore Accidentally Deleted Files with Recuva - HTG
    Recuva summary Help page
    Recuva - Screenshots - Recuva online help
    Recuva Wizard Mode - Recuva online help
    Recuva Advanced mode - Recuva online help
    using Recuva - TenForums

    The chances of success reduce with every use of the computer so you need to try now.
