    Hi


    I have two accounts on my laptop, and I want to delete the one I don't use, the only trouble is when you go through settings etc like people have previoulsy told me to on here, that account doesnt exist, it just shows on the log in screen only. Even factory reset doesn't get rid of it. Also it disappears when you flip the top down. So it's only like it shows up when you first power on the machine.

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
