my MacBook Pro is stuck deleting a User Account...

So I cannot close my settings window (User & Groups)  I went to delete an other user ( Not the Admin acct) and its just stuck in the deleting process.  When I try to close the window I get this message: "System Preferences is busy and can't be closed. Users & Groups preferences is removing a user account and saving the Home directory to a disk image."   I have no idea what that means I restarting the MacBook doesn't change anything.....  please help if anyone knows how to fix this.  thank you for your time 

You have gone to system preferences & selected a account , clicked on minus sign & chosen save the home folder in a disk image .

This will archive all the user’s documents and information so the user can be restored later if needed. The disk image is saved in /Users/Deleted Users/. it will take time to restore the contents as data size may be large , let it be completed .

How long should this take? Approximately.  It's been a few days....

I have this same issue, and it has been 'saving the directory' for days now. Did you force close the window, and if so did it cause any problems for you?
