Windows 10: Cannot delete a user from netplwiz

When i sign in my windows i get 2 options to which account i want to sign in the 1st one is my normal microsoft account and the 2nd is some random account named Administrator, so i went to netplwiz and clicked on remove in which it said "The user DESKTOP-F10C0EU\Adminisrator could not be removed." so i clicked on the user's properties and as description it says "Built-in account for administering the computer/domain". I tried to remove it from regedit as an answer to the question but nothing happened and i still couldn't remove it.

:)

 

Strange User Not in NETPLWIZ

It should only be listed in netplwiz if it is active. In a command prompt, type net users to get a list of all user accounts (active or not). Type net user guest to see full details for that one account, including whether the system thinks it's active.

 

Deleted User

I deleted a user with a Microsoft account but the user still shows on login. I have tried:

1. regedit to delete the profile and it does not show on list

2. netplwiz and user does not show on the list

3. from command prompt, tried netuser delete and did not find the user.

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

thanks
