  1. Account deletion on windows 11


    After deleting an account on Windows 11 in control panel the user profile still remained in C:\users even though it said that the account was deleted. Thinking the account was not deleted, I signed in on the same profile to find that all the apps were gone. Is there any way I can restore my pc to when the account was still there.

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Account deletion on windows 11 :(
