The previous account is probably the owner of the files in the partition. If the partitions are ext (Linux) you only need to go to a terminal and replace the owner of the files (as you deleted the 1st user, you don't need to access the files with it anymore).
sudo chown -R new_user_name /the_place_you_mounted_the_partition
-R is to apply the command to all subdirectories, you can check chown
command with man chown
After you can check if it worked using ls -l /the_place_you_mounted_the_partition
If you have more users to share the partitions, after that you can create a group, assign the group to the files and place the users that need access in the group.
SWAP:
In /etc/fstab
