  1. Account Disappeared


    Hi to all,


    While using my laptop it froze up and went into blue screen mode. After that Windows made me create a new account as if it was a new computer. I followed the steps and rebooted my computer only to find that everything was gone. I checked all the files and nothing was left behind.


    The only good thing is that the C Drive shows only 22 GB of storage which is what I originally had left on my laptop. I'm assuming that all my stuff is still in the hard drive but can't be accessed.


    Is there a way for me to return to/recover my original account and get my stuff back to normal?


    Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.


    Thanks!

    :)

    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
