I can't remove the users account

Hello

I tried to find a way to delete a user account (user standar)
I followed the instructions of windows help

  1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click user accounts and parental controls, click on accounts of users and then clicking on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. Click the account you want to remove, and then click on delete account.

  3. Decide if you want to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking on the file to keep, or delete files.

  4. Click on delete account.

    OK... but the only available option are changing the image or turning off the guest account

    I'm on windows 7 64 bit running as administrator, I have seen on other users of the forum with the same problem but no solution has been proposed

Try this:
1. create a new shortcut on the desktop that points to cmd.exe. Call Console.
2. right click on this shortcut, then run it as administrator.
3. type the following command and press ENTER:
NET user "xxyyzz" / del
(replace xxyyzz by name of the user account)

If you want to also get rid of the folder of the user profile, follow these steps:
4 restart the machine.
5. log on as an administrator.
6. open a Console session as it step 2 above.
7. Enter the following command:
RD /s /q "c:\Users\xxyyzz."
Note: This method permanently removes all files and folders in the folder of the user profile. They are not recoverable. If in doubt about this action, use the following command instead:
ren 'c:\Users\xxyyzz' 'xxyyzz.junk '.
Now, wait a few weeks before you delete the file permanently.

    You may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the default settings. I recommend you contact your PC vendor for this.

  • How to remove the user account from the connection Start Page (therefore restart goes directly to the desktop without the need for any clickthru)?

    On my Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit system, all I had to do was to remove all the accounts (other than 'administrator') in addition to my login information main user account and remove the password of the Admin account and I use a main user account, and then whenever I reboot, reboot goes all the way to the Windows desktop (i.e. through it does not stop with a cover page showing the user account).

    -It does not seem that this approach works for my Vista SP2 Business Edition 32 bit.  In fact - I get TWO accounts of user with the exact name even appear (my account "DougL12"), as well as the "Administrator" account  None of these accounts have passwords (I can just click on one of them, which brings up a screen to enter a password, then click again without entering any PW, and then I get thru on my desk).

    When I go to 'User accounts' control Panal and select 'Manage another account', windows displays a screen showing three accounts:

    (1) "Guest" (power off);

    (2) "DougL12" (hey I am running, whose B-T-W has privileges admin; also do not have a password); and

    (3) 'administrator' (which, if I choose only, is not an option 'disable', although it has not one)

    (password).

    NOTE: page does not display "" versions of the user account "DougL12", although the login screen that is telling.

    so:

    (1) what do I do to eliminate the appearance of user accounts / Login Screen (i.e., default to my main user

    Account, "DougL12" and should not click)?

    (2) any thoughts as to why the system could be displaying two Occurrences of the user account Login "DougL12" on the

    login screen?

  • How can I remove the microsoft account and use the address as one alias on another?

    So I have two microsoft accounts using gmail addresses, the first is the one who has all my data (throughout the onedrive, Skype, xbox, windows, etc.) and the second has nothing. I want to do is delete the second so that I can use the address as primary on the first alias (as is my most used gmail account). Is this possible?

    account 1: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    account 2: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Hi Dan,.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    From the description, it seems that you want to remove one of the two Microsoft accounts.

    Once you remove the secondary account from Microsoft, you can use the primary address, but you can go as an alias. 

    To remove a Microsoft account, you can see the Microsoft article and check if that helps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/remove-account

    Note: Before deleting an account Microsoft make a backup of data.

    You can also consult the Microsoft account and check if it helps:

  • How can I permanently disable and remove the User Account Control (UAC) on Control Panel?

    This feature on Windows Vista is really annoying when you do a presentation. I want to permanently disable and remove from the control panel.

    Hi Eyngel,

    If I understand you correctly, you want to disable or delete the user (UAC) of your computer access control.

    You can turn off the UAC, but do not remove it completely from your computer.

    You can let on that it is one of the security features of Windows Vista.

    To turn off the UAC:

    Go to control panel > user accounts > manage another account > at bottom of the page delete the control on the use of user access control.
    It should ask you to restart the computer to complete the process.

    I hope this helps. ----------------------------------------------------------

  • How to remove the user account with password, start menu

    I got this laptop from my dads boss and there are two accounts of users per password and I don't know what they are, is it possible to remove them? because I can not get on the phone to use with these passwords there.

    At this point your best approach would be to reinstall Windows on this machine.  When you start the machine, search for a key, press the first splash screen OEM that could be labelled 'System Recovery' and [quickly] press this button.

    If you do not have what you need to reinstall windows, contact the manufacturer for a set of installation floppies or try some of the suggestions contained in the articles referred to in the following article (which is on the news only that we're allowed to talk in this Microsoft forum taken supported)

    How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

    1. 1

      Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.

    2. 2

      Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.

    3. 3

      If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.

    4. 4

      Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.

    5. 5

      The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.

    6. 6

      The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.

      • If you have already backed up all important data on this user account, you can safely click on 'delete files '.
      • If you do not, you must click "keep files".

  • How can I copy the user created in the administrator account?

    Hello

    I would like to ask what can I do? When I installed Vista Home Premium on my computer, I created another user account! I have configured my PC how I like it! With all the parameters that I need (research, programs, etc...) I don't want 2 user account, but I can't remove the administrator one! (Now, it's empty, nothing about this)

    So, how can I copy all my settings, remove the user and a user account?

    I hope I was understandable! :)

    Good day!

    Hi Muzsika,

    I don't know what you mean, so I'll just say what I think is your problem, and then respond.

    Problem: I have a standard account I have all my files in and have customized this account. I have an administrator account that I don't use. Because I can't remove the administrator account, I would copy the standard account for the administrator account and remove the standard account.

    The answer is: change the standard account to an administrator. account, and then delete the other admin account.
    How to change an account type to administrator: (necessarily using the account admin.)
    1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, click user accounts, and then clicking on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. Click on the standard account and then click on change the account type.

    3. Select the type of account you want, and then click on change the account Type.
