• How to remove a user account on my computer.

  I would like to delete a user account on MY computer and don't know how.  The account has a password and I don't want to have to ask the person for his or her password.  It is no longer resident at home.  I think that my computer's performance will increase considerably if I do this as there are things stored there who gets up on my computer and it is not used.  Appreciate your help.

  Hi momoftwo_,

  When you delete a user account, you can choose if you want to keep the files created under that account; However, the messages and settings on the computer for the account will be removed.

  (a) open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, clicking user accounts, and then clicking Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) click the account you want to delete and then click delete the account.

  (c) decide whether to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking keep files or delete files.

  (d) click on remove account.

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

• How to remove a user account remotely in Windows 8 Pro?

  Hey people!

  I have a rather embarrassing question here, which is not urgent, but gives me great concern.
  I am an administrator as COMPUTER technician (sort of... without... self-taught qualifications only) to a small property management organization.
  I am currently looking for another job, and when you want to leave I might have is any more access to the desktop. I have always (it's the PC I am writing this post since).
  I am connected with my private microsoft account, even I use it everywhere, including my own laptop computers and the family too. Needless to say that there is information only I have access to, but I didn't want any hack - in a tent in the future. After all, this is my personal account.
  Is there a way to not just turn off sync and access to my account on this computer, but force the system to delete my files on this computer using my account from another computer? even if the files cannot be removed remotely (they are encrypted), if there is a way to prevent my account appears in the settings and the user selection screen would be a great help.
  Please note that, from now on, I need to have my account on this PC so that I can access information on the server of office on the fly if needed.
  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance
  PS: Yes, I said I am a technician, but please note that it is not my job. I'm more in the development of a set of security features of Windows. Everything I know about computers come from self-education (experiences and failures in my childhood), and even though I consider myself a very thorough person, beyond the level of the user, I have to admit that I'm not an expert. especially when it comes to advanced safety features. but my mind is open to suggestions and ideas...

  There is no one way to do this unless you have the device software and server management suites.  So basically, not unless you are a massive company.  But even in this case, there is no absolute guarantee, because the company could just disconnect the network and then you'd never a way to send a command to this computer anyway to clear it.  So any local administrator on the computer can still watch all the files, regardless of what protection/security configure you (administrators are like God: they can always see everything without any restrictions at all).

  We created an unknown accout on my laptop Windows 7 did it probably a malware or some kind of virus. This unknown account took all permissions including the special permission. In this way, he blocked my access to a lot of my documents and multimedia files. This unknown account does not appear in the list of user accounts. Thus, it cannot be deleted or modified/restricted.
