    Remove account

    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:

    10 home. after i close a file it still wont let me remove a drive

    F Drive disappeared when I closed a file from it

    My F drive just disappeared and I cannot find it either on the My computer screen that shows the C drive and the cd-rom driven it was there about an hour ago, and when I closed a file from that drive, the screen closed that was open on that drive, when I
    went to reopen it, it was gone. I'm running WIndows 10, have tried to do the steps listed in an F drive disappeared thread and nothing worked. I have a Gateway computer that has been upgraded. The model is DX4300-15c. My F drive is a 1 TB SSHD. My C drive
    is a standard 2 TB HD. All of the files on the SSHD drive are recovered files, including .pdf, .gif, .jpg, .rtf, as well as different version word documents, many image files other than I listed.

    I went through great pains to recover these files and now they appear to be lost once again.
