Deleted user account continues to reappear

I continually deleted a particular user account (this is a standard user account) but it reappears constantly.  Now I have 6 of these identities - each named Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC; Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC.000; Joseph Corona.Rhonda - PC.001 and so on.  I successfully deleted other users without problem.  I upgraded my system from Windows Vista to Windows 8 without incident and apart from this problem are very pleased with the upgrade.

I used another account (Administrator) to delete but good old ' Joe just comes back!  Need help please, it's driving me crazy.

Thank you very much

Hi Rhonda,

Thank you for the update.

I recommend you let flow the Windows Defender in offline mode and check if it helps.

What is Windows Defender in offline mode?

Note: The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • restore deleted user accounts in vista sp2

    My girls open a session on the account in windows vista sp2 has been removed and is now being restored. is this possible? After you run defrag x times?

    You COULD retrieve some data from it

    When you delete an account, you have the ability to save files then.

    Read the post on the link above by MVP Malke.

    And Defrag and computer use has probably ruined all chances to save all the data.

  • Additional user account continues to appear on the HD even if deleting it, name of user-nameofcomputer

    I have two accounts, one I've appointed administrator and the other with my personal name. I checked in regedit where UserProfile is listed and there are files ending in 02 and 03 and they list the paths to these two accounts. The missing 01 is probably as a result of the problems I had to get rid of test-testpc that appeared on my computer when he returned for repair by the manufacturer. I know that I could change the name on my own from user accounts in Control Panel, but below it was still test-testpc disk hard drive. I changed the name of the computer and that stuck. I made the new administrator account but when I went to the Advanced System Settings system, then profiles user and test parameters only appear and clicking on it would not let me then click on copy to copy its files and settings of the administrator. I did another administrator account with my personal name and then deleted the test instead of copy and then delete. Maybe I couldn't always copy, maybe that I was so happy that I could remove it.

    While both accounts to log on, only two in regedit (by default and the public seem to never see, can't remember right now if Guest showed up, I usually do ' t activated it.) BUT when I look on my hard drive, there is a mypersonalname-mynewcomputer additional account name. I'm deleting it but it comes back.

    Why and how can I get rid of him and, oh yes, despite all this when I install Office, in the configuration under my name is personal info... test. Then the repairman with a certain (the last time I sent that he was associated with worm test) is always LURKING somewhere. How to remove his remains.

    Yes, I know after reimage my HD even though she had nothing to do with why he was sent, he had to start to see if it worked and so had to give it a name, I affirm that I have to roll back in the condition of the box and he came me out of the box named test. Let the reimage repair once more and stop at the point before you rename it instead of telling me to do. If my machine has been recently reimagee, why would I do it again myself.

    It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  • Cannot delete user account

    I have a Macbook which was given to me last week and I try in vain to create a new user account. I can't remove the old Admin user account even though I have the password. I thought you unlocked the the padlock icon, clicked on the admin user (which is highlighted) and then click on the sign - downstairs, but the - sign will not value. The + is but not the--

    Am a little confused now?

    Kind regards.

    You must be logged in with a different administrator account and that you try to delete must be completely disconnected.

    You must erase the internal drive and install a new OS instead of simply delete the old account.

  • How can I restore deleted user account?

    During a session to help with Intuit on the installation of a product update, it became necessary to set up a new user in Windows XP Tablet Edition.  In the process of all other user accounts have been deleted. How to restore a user account?  The new account is an administrator account.

    Hobler,
    If the user account has been deleted you can not restore with the help of a program of backup\restore.  If you have another drive and that you have backed up your hard drive then user accounts should be part of your backup.  You just go through the restore process for items you need.
    If you do not have a backup, and then they are gone. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • deleted user account and the screen is the user name and password

    Hello

    Thank you very much for the help in advance.

    My personal PC at home never used me to ask for a password when I start it up, I can't put in when I took it out of the box, if I did, then I forgot. now, I went and I deleted the user account (admin) on W7 (the only one I had)... went to RUN > typed in "control userpasswords2" > highlighted account > remove... the PC did not ask if I want to keep the files or not, he just asked me to reboot now or later. I rebooted.

    THE PROBLEM IS: after I restarted the PC, it now wants to put me the user name and password, I do not know if she wants my old username and password or what? (Forgot my password)

    Will be commissioning a PC on the mode using safe without a boot disk (not yet tried) and what happens if the hidden admin account is what I deleted, then where?

    Please help because I tried to put my old username that I used until I deleted the account... what username and password he wants and what can I do to use my PC again.

    What is your computer brand and model? If not a branded computer, what is your motherboard brand and model?

    When you start in safe mode, how many accounts user do you have? If more than one, you can create a new user account?

  • Cannot delete user accounts

    While trying to understand why some programs would not load on my account a couple of different "technicians decided to create new user accounts to see if they would load on the new user account."  After you have determined that they would not, they let the user accounts it and no matter what I do, I was unable to remove these user accounts.

    Accounts have been set up as standard accounts.  I am the administrative account only.  It gives me an error message; It is not only to remove the account.  It is said that it can be files and application if I want to delete the files in the account, to which I answer, Yes and then say to delete the account and it doesn't.  I have a desktop Dell Vostro220s, 32-bit.

    Thank you

    N ° maybe I did something wrong.  Your orders are a little difficult to follow.  I wasn't sure whether to use parentheses or put spaces...

    I'm sorry.

    Lines in parentheses are indicative. The other, you must type exactly as they are, without add, change, or remove anything.
  • A library fom a deleted user account still shows in my Windows Media Player "other libraries".

    I created a couple of local user accounts on my computer that I deleted later.  Even if the user accounts are no longer on my computer, their libraries still appear in Windows Media Player "Other libraries" on my system and for other people on my network. How can I get my computer to stop sharing of libraries that do not exist?

    In fact, I don't want one of my libraries in ANY of my user accounts appears on the computers of other network users.  How do I stop sharing libraries?

    Open services.msc and find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If you stop and disable the service, that the libraries should no longer appear on other computers.

    But if you had a deleted user who always showed upward, you will have to dig into the registry to fix. I had the same problem with a deleted user and only just found out how to remove it.
    First you must find the SID of the user removed before removing all the elements in the registry.
    Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There are sub keys that represent the SIDS of the users of the system. When click on each sub-cles see you on the right side ProfileImagePath that can help determine who the user is.
    Once you have the SID go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME if you use 32 bit 8 Win). Here will be locked by using the same SID you found under the ProfileList key. Delete the main folder that relates to the SID, you want to remove. To remove the SID folder, you may need to take ownership of the folder SID key.
    Then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player NSS\3.0\Media servers. Here will be another folder related to SID that you remove. After the two keys were removed, restart the Windows Media Player network sharing service.
  • Prevent deletion of administrator user accounts

    Hello

    My name is Muhammad Hasan Ahmed and I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. I need assistance to manage the user accounts on my desktop computer. I submitted my request to a representative of Microsoft Live Chat, but she did not have enough technical information on the subject to be able to help me in this matter.

    Here's the question:

    I have 2 Administrator accounts on my computer. First story is mine, and the second account (called HOME) is for users. I use an account is protected by password. HOME account doesn't have a password. I want to keep the account of the HOUSE to delete user accounts, either this is a limited account or an administrator account. HOSPITALITY account requires administrator rights so it can't be limited account. Is there another way to do this without changing the type of limited user account? What could be the possible measures to perform this task?

    I deleted several user accounts and need to restart to changesw can take effect, but after that I have to restart the laptop then all user accounts have been restored?

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problem with Windows Vista user account management

    When you go to user accounts in Control Panel, I automatically get up my account but when I click on 'manage other accounts' and continue, I get a screen saying click account you want to manage but no icons or accounts don't appear in the box below?

    If I click on 'create new account' it does not work either, I was able to create accounts by going to the parental controls and after the link, but I can't seem to delete user accounts. I am running Vista Home Premium.

    Any ideas appreciated?

    I recommend you to check your admin rights.
    Eventually you cannot delete user accounts and cannot change anything because of a bad rights.
