Glad you got it fixed.
Always a good idea to have a second admin account on the computer. Personally I always enable a root account. Then if I'm having issues I can boot into root and do things like delete all my caches or just about anything since a root account has compete access to do anything to any account.
Also show all hidden files is sometimes helpful.
